    xine is a GPL high-performance, portable and reusable multimedia
    playback engine. xine-lib is xine's core engine. FFmpeg is a very fast
    video and audio converter and is used in xine-lib.

    <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>
