Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.55556
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-196-1 (xine-lib)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to xine-lib
announced via advisory USN-196-1.

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog)
Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog)

The following packages are affected: libxine1

Ulf Harnhammar discovered a format string vulnerability in the CDDB
module's cache file handling in the Xine library, which is
used by packages such as xine-ui, totem-xine, and gxine.

By tricking an user into playing a particular audio CD which has a
specially-crafted CDDB entry, a remote attacker could exploit this
vulnerability to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the
user running the application. Since CDDB servers usually allow anybody
to add and modify information, this exploit does not even require a
particular CDDB server to be selected.

Solution:
The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to
version 1-rc5-1ubuntu2.3 (for Ubuntu 4.10), or 1.0-1ubuntu3.1.1 (for
Ubuntu 5.04). In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to
effect the necessary changes.
