Synopsis
========
Kaffeine is vulnerable to a buffer overflow that could lead to the
execution of arbitrary code.
Background
==========
Kaffeine is a graphical front-end for the xine-lib multimedia library.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 media-video/kaffeine < 0.7.1-r2 >= 0.7.1-r2
Description
===========
Kaffeine uses an unchecked buffer when fetching remote RAM playlists
via HTTP.
Impact
======
A remote attacker could entice a user to play a specially-crafted RAM
playlist resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the
permissions of the user running the application.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All Kaffeine users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-video/kaffeine-0.7.1-r2"
