[slackware-security] xine-lib

New xine-lib packages are available for Slackware 10.2 and -current to
fix security issues.

More details about these issues may be found in the Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database:

https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2005-4048
https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2006-2802

Evidently there is also an issue involving AVI files which has not
been issued a CVE entry.

Here are the details from the Slackware 10.2 ChangeLog:

patches/packages/xine-lib-1.1.2-i686-1.tgz:
Upgraded to xine-lib-1.1.2.
According to xinehq.de’s announcement:
There are three security fixes:
- CVE-2005-4048: possible buffer overflow in libavcodec (crafted PNGs);
- CVE-2006-2802: possible buffer overflow in the HTTP plugin;
- possible buffer overflow via bad indexes in specially-crafted AVI files.
(* Security fix *)

Where to find the new packages:

HINT: Getting slow download speeds from ftp.slackware.com?
Give slackware.osuosl.org a try. This is another primary FTP site
for Slackware that can be considerably faster than downloading
from ftp.slackware.com.

Thanks to the friendly folks at the OSU Open Source Lab
(http://osuosl.org) for donating additional FTP and rsync hosting
to the Slackware project! :-)

Also see the “Get Slack” section on http://slackware.com for
additional mirror sites near you.
