GLSA-200609-08 : xine-lib: Buffer overflows

medium Nessus Plugin ID 22353

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200609-08 (xine-lib: Buffer overflows)

 xine-lib contains buffer overflows in the processing of AVI.
 Additionally, xine-lib is vulnerable to a buffer overflow in the HTTP plugin (xineplug_inp_http.so) via a long reply from an HTTP server.
 Impact :

 An attacker could trigger the buffer overflow vulnerabilities by enticing a user to load a specially crafted AVI file in xine. This might result in the execution of arbitrary code with the rights of the user running xine. Additionally, a remote HTTP server serving a xine client a specially crafted reply could crash xine and possibly execute arbitrary code.
 Workaround :

 There is no known workaround at this time.

Solution

All xine-lib users should upgrade to the latest version:
 # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=media-libs/xine-lib-1.1.2-r2'
