Synopsis

Description

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200510-08 (xine-lib: Format string vulnerability)

 Ulf Harnhammar discovered a format string bug in the routines handling CDDB server response contents.
 Impact :

 An attacker could submit malicious information about an audio CD to a public CDDB server (or impersonate a public CDDB server). When the victim plays this CD on a multimedia frontend relying on xine-lib, it could end up executing arbitrary code.

 There is no known workaround at this time.

Solution

 # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose media-libs/xine-lib
