    <p>
    xine-lib is the xine core engine. xine is a free multimedia
    player. It plays CDs, DVDs, and VCDs, and can also decode other common
    multimedia formats.

  <description>
    <p>
    Federico L. Bossi Bonin discovered that when handling MPEG streams
    xine-lib fails to make a proper boundary check of the input data
    supplied by the user before copying it to an insufficiently sized
    memory buffer.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could entice a user to play a specially-crafted
    MPEG 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-1.1.2_pre20060328-r1&quot;</code>
