high Nessus Plugin ID 25054

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-200704-09 (xine-lib: Heap-based buffer overflow)

 xine-lib does not check boundaries on data being read into buffers from DMO video files in code that is shared with MPlayer (DMO_VideoDecoder.c).
 Impact :

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

 There is no known workaround at this time.

Solution

All xine-lib users on the x86 platform should upgrade to the latest version:
 # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=media-libs/xine-lib-1.1.4-r2'
