xine-lib before 1.1.15 performs V4L video frame preallocation before ascertaining the required length, which has unknown impact and attack vectors, possibly related to a buffer overflow in the open_video_capture_device function in src/input/input_v4l.c.

This update of xine fixes multiple buffer overflows while parsing files :

  - CVE-2008-3231

  - CVE-2008-5233

  - These bugs can lead to remote code execution.
    (CVE-2008-5248)

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201006-04 (xine-lib: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in xine-lib. Please review     the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to play a specially crafted video     file or stream with a player using xine-lib, potentially resulting in     the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running     the application.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Vulnerabilities have been discovered and corrected in xine-lib :

Failure on Ogg files manipulation can lead remote attackers to cause a denial of service by using crafted files (CVE-2008-3231).

Failure on manipulation of either MNG or Real or MOD files can lead remote attackers to cause a denial of service by using crafted files (CVE: CVE-2008-5233).

Heap-based overflow allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by using Quicktime media files holding crafted metadata (CVE-2008-5234).

Heap-based overflow allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by using either crafted Matroska or Real media files (CVE-2008-5236).

Failure on manipulation of either MNG or Quicktime files can lead remote attackers to cause a denial of service by using crafted files (CVE-2008-5237).

Multiple heap-based overflow on input plugins (http, net, smb, dvd, dvb, rtsp, rtp, pvr, pnm, file, gnome_vfs, mms) allow attackers to execute arbitrary code by handling that input channels. Further this problem can even lead attackers to cause denial of service (CVE-2008-5239).

Heap-based overflow allows attackers to execute arbitrary code by using crafted Matroska media files (MATROSKA_ID_TR_CODECPRIVATE track entry element). Further a failure on handling of Real media files (CONT_TAG header) can lead to a denial of service attack (CVE-2008-5240).

Integer underflow allows remote attackers to cause denial of service by using Quicktime media files (CVE-2008-5241).

Failure on manipulation of Real media files can lead remote attackers to cause a denial of service by indexing an allocated buffer with a certain input value in a crafted file (CVE-2008-5243).

Vulnerabilities of unknown impact - possibly buffer overflow - caused by a condition of video frame preallocation before ascertaining the required length in V4L video input plugin (CVE-2008-5245).

Heap-based overflow allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by using crafted media files. This vulnerability is in the manipulation of ID3 audio file data tagging mainly used in MP3 file formats (CVE-2008-5246).

Integer overflow in the qt_error parse_trak_atom function in demuxers/demux_qt.c in xine-lib 1.1.16.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a Quicktime movie file with a large count value in an STTS atom, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2009-1274)

Integer overflow in the 4xm demuxer (demuxers/demux_4xm.c) in xine-lib 1.1.16.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a 4X movie file with a large current_track value, a similar issue to CVE-2009-0385 (CVE-2009-0698)
