    <p>
    xine is a high performance, portable and reusable multimedia playback
    engine. xine-lib is xine's core engine.
    </p>

  <description>
    <p>
    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.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    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.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All xine-lib users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-libs/xine-lib-1.1.2-r2"</code>
  </resolution>
