Synopsis
========
Multiple vulnerabilities in xine-lib might result in the remote
execution of arbitrary code.
Background
==========
xine-lib is the core library package for the xine media player, and
other players such as Amarok, Codeine/Dragon Player and Kaffeine.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 media-libs/xine-lib < 1.1.16.3 >= 1.1.16.3
Description
===========
Multiple vulnerabilites have been reported in xine-lib. Please review
the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
Impact
======
A remote attacker could entice a user to play a specially crafted video
file or stream with a player using xine-lib, potentially resulting in
the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running
the application.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All xine-lib users should upgrade to an unaffected version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/xine-lib-1.1.16.3"
