Ubuntu 4.10 / 5.04 : xine-lib vulnerabilities (USN-123-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 20512

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

Two buffer overflows have been discovered in the MMS and Real RTSP stream handlers of the Xine library. By tricking a user to connect to a malicious MMS or RTSP video/audio stream source with an application that uses this library, an attacker could crash the client and possibly even execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the player application.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected libxine-dev and / or libxine1 packages.
