Title:Fedora Legacy Security Advisory FLSA-2006:152873
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory FLSA-2006:152873.

A vulnerability has been reported in the way xine handles a bug report
email. A local user could create a specially crafted symlink which could
result in xine overwriting a file which it has write access to. The
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
assigned the name CVE-2004-0372 to this issue.

A heap overflow has been found in the DVD subpicture decoder of
xine-lib. This can be used for a remote heap overflow exploit, which
can, on some systems, lead to or help in executing malicious code with
the permissions of the user running a xine-lib based media application.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project has assigned the name
CVE-2004-1379 to this issue.

All users of xine should upgrade to this updated package, which includes
backported patches to correct these issues.
