Check for the version of the xine-lib package Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2005:094 (xine-lib). Two buffer overflow vulnerabilities were discovered in the MMS and Real RTSP stream handlers in the Xine libraries. If a possible hacker can trick a user to connect to a malicious MMS or RTSP video/audio stream source with any application using this library, they could crash the client and possibly even execute arbitrary code with the rights of the user running the player program. The updated packages have been patched to correct these problems.
