<p>
xine-ui is a skin-based user interface for xine. xine is a free
multimedia player. It plays CDs, DVDs, and VCDs, and can also decode
other common multimedia formats.

Due to the improper handling and use of format strings, the
errors_create_window() function in errors.c does not safely write data
to memory.

<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.

<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=media-video/xine-ui-0.99.5_pre20060716&quot;</code>
