GLSA-200409-30 : xine-lib: Multiple vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 14798

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-200409-30 (xine-lib: Multiple vulnerabilities)

xine-lib contains two stack-based overflows and one heap-based overflow. In the code reading VCD disc labels, the ISO disc label is copied into an unprotected stack buffer of fixed size. Also, there is a buffer overflow in the code that parses subtitles and prepares them for display (XSA-2004-4). Finally, xine-lib contains a heap-based overflow in the DVD sub-picture decoder (XSA-2004-5).
(Please note that the VCD MRL issue mentioned in XSA-2004-4 was fixed with GLSA 200408-18.) Impact :

With carefully-crafted VCDs, DVDs, MPEGs or subtitles, an attacker may cause xine-lib to execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user.
Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.

Solution

All xine-lib users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge sync # emerge -pv '>=media-libs/xine-lib-1_rc6' # emerge '>=media-libs/xine-lib-1_rc6'
