+ <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.

+ 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 &quot;&gt;=media-libs/xine-lib-1.1.4-r2&quot;</code>
