Title: xine-lib: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code
Date: January 27, 2008
Bugs: #205197
ID: 200801-12

Synopsis
========
xine-lib is vulnerable to multiple heap-based buffer overflows when
processing RTSP streams.
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"
