USN230-2 : xine-lib vulnerability

Vulnerability Assessment Summary xine-lib vulnerability Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : These remote packages are missing security patches : - libxine-dev - libxine1 - libxine1c2 Description : USN-230-1 fixed a vulnerability in the ffmpeg library. The Xine library contains a copy of the ffmpeg code, thus it is vulnerable to the same flaw. For reference, this is the original advisory: Simon Kilvington discovered a buffer overflow in the avcodec_default_get_buffer() function of the ffmpeg library. By tricking an user into opening a malicious movie which contains specially crafted PNG images, this could be exploited to execute arbitrary code with the user's rights. Solution : Upgrade to : - libxine-dev-1.0.1-1ubuntu10.2 (Ubuntu 5.10) - libxine1-1.0-1ubuntu3.6 (Ubuntu 5.04) - libxine1c2-1.0.1-1ubuntu10.2 (Ubuntu 5.10) Network Security Threat Level: High Networks Security ID: Vulnerability Assessment Copyright: Ubuntu Security Notice (C) 2005 Canonical, Inc. / NASL script (C) 2005 Michel Arboi
