Background ========== xine is a high performance, portable and reusable multimedia playback engine. xine-lib is xine's core engine. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 media-libs/xine-lib < 1.1.2-r2 >= 1.1.2-r2 Description =========== xine-lib contains buffer overflows in the processing of AVI. Additionally, xine-lib is vulnerable to a buffer overflow in the HTTP plugin (xineplug_inp_http.so) via a long reply from an HTTP server. Impact ====== An attacker could trigger the buffer overflow vulnerabilities by enticing a user to load a specially crafted AVI file in xine. This might result in the execution of arbitrary code with the rights of the user running xine. Additionally, a remote HTTP server serving a xine client a specially crafted reply could crash xine and possibly execute arbitrary code. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All xine-lib users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/xine-lib-1.1.2-r2" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2006-2802 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-2802 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200609-08.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
