Xine library vulnerabilities

Releases

• Ubuntu 5.04
• Ubuntu 4.10

Details

Two buffer overflows have been discovered in the MMS and Real RTSP
stream handlers of the Xine library. By tricking a user to connect to
a malicious MMS or RTSP video/audio stream source with an application
that uses this library, an attacker could crash the client and
possibly even execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the player
application.
