Background ========== xine-lib is the core library package for the xine media player. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 media-libs/xine-lib < 1.1.9.1 >= 1.1.9.1 Description =========== Luigi Auriemma reported that xine-lib does not properly check boundaries when processing SDP attributes of RTSP streams, leading to heap-based buffer overflows. Impact ====== An attacker could entice a user to play specially crafted RTSP video streams with a player using xine-lib, potentially resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the player. 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-1.1.9.1" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2008-0225 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-0225 [ 2 ] CVE-2008-0238 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-0238 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200801-12.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.
