Recommended Posts

Xine-lib uses an embedded copy of ffmpeg and as such has been updated

to address the following issue: Multiple buffer overflows in

libavcodec in ffmpeg before 0.4.9_p20060530 allow remote attackers to

cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code via

multiple unspecified vectors in (1) dtsdec.c, (2) vorbis.c, (3) rm.c,

(4)sierravmd.c, (5) smacker.c, (6) tta.c, (7) 4xm.c, (8) alac.c, (9)

cook.c, (10)shorten.c, (11) smacker.c, (12) snow.c, and (13) tta.c.

NOTE: it is likely that this is a different vulnerability than

CVE-2005-4048 and CVE-2006-2802.

 

Updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
