libxine -- buffer overflow vulnerability

A Secunia Advisory reports:

Federico L. Bossi Bonin has discovered a weakness in xine-lib,
which can be exploited by malicious people to crash certain
applications on a user’s system.
The weakness is cause due to a heap corruption within the
“xineplug_inp_http.so” plugin when handling an overly large
reply from the HTTP server. This can be exploited to crash
an application that uses the plugin (e.g. gxine).
