Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.50478
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu 4.10 USN-42-1 (xine-lib)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to xine-lib
announced via advisory USN-42-1.

Several buffer overflows have been discovered in xine-lib, the
video/audio codec library for Xine frontends (xine-ui, totem-xine,
kaffeine, and others). If an attacker tricked a user into loading a
malicious RTSP stream or a stream with specially crafted AIFF audio or
PNM image data, they could exploit this to execute arbitrary code with
the privileges of the user opening the audio/video file.

The following packages are affected: libxine1

Solution:
The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to
version 1-rc5-1ubuntu2.1. In general, a standard system upgrade is
sufficient to effect the necessary changes.
