Description
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
There is a stack based overflow in the libmms library included with
xine-lib which can be triggered by malicious use of the send_command,
string_utf16, get_data and get_media_packet functions.
Impact
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
A remote attacker could design a malicious media file that would
trigger the overflow, potentially resulting in the execution of
arbitrary code.
Workaround
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
All xine-lib users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=3Dmedia-libs/xine-lib-1.1.2-r2"=
