  <description>
    <p>
    There is a stack based overflow in the libmms library included with
    xine-lib which can be triggered by malicious use of the send_command,
    string_utf16, get_data and get_media_packet functions.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">

    A remote attacker could design a malicious media file that would
    trigger the overflow, potentially resulting in the execution of
    arbitrary code.

    There is no known workaround at this time.

    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=media-libs/xine-lib-1.1.2-r2&quot;</code>
