<description>
<p>
Simon Kilvington has reported a vulnerability in FFmpeg
libavcodec. The flaw is due to a buffer overflow error in the
"avcodec_default_get_buffer()" function. This function doesn't properly
handle specially crafted PNG files as a result of a heap overflow.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
A remote attacker could entice a user to run an FFmpeg based
application on a maliciously crafted PNG file, resulting in the
execution of arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running
the application.
</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 &quot;&gt;=media-libs/xine-lib-1.1.1-r3&quot;</code>
<p>
All FFmpeg users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=media-video/ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20051216&quot;</code>
