    library.

  <description>
    <p>
    KF of Secure Network Operations has discovered an overflow that occurs
    during the Content-Type header processing of Kaffeine. The vulnerable
    code in Kaffeine is reused from gxine, making gxine vulnerable as well.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    An attacker could create a specially-crafted Content-type header from a
    malicious HTTP server, and crash a user's instance of Kaffeine or
    gxine, potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All Kaffeine users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=media-video/kaffeine-0.4.3b-r1&quot;</code>
    <p>
    All gxine users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=media-video/gxine-0.3.3-r1&quot;</code>
