    <package name="media-libs/xine-lib" auto="yes" arch="x86">
      <unaffected range="ge">1.1.4-r2</unaffected>

    xine-lib is the core library package for the xine media player.
    </p>

  <description>
    <p>
    xine-lib does not check boundaries on data being read into buffers from
    DMO video files in code that is shared with MPlayer
    (DMO_VideoDecoder.c).
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    An attacker could entice a user to play a specially crafted DMO video
    file with a player using xine-lib, potentially resulting in the
    execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the
    player.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All xine-lib users on the x86 platform should upgrade to the latest
    version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-libs/xine-lib-1.1.4-r2"</code>
