Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.57113
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-315-1 (xine-lib)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to xine-lib
announced via advisory USN-315-1.

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 5.04
Ubuntu 5.10
Ubuntu 6.06 LTS

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

Matthias Hopf discovered several buffer overflows in libmms. By
tricking a user into opening a specially crafted remote multimedia
stream with an application using libmms, a remote attacker could
exploit this to execute arbitrary code with the user's privileges.

The Xine library contains an embedded copy of libmms, and thus needs
the same security update.

Solution:
The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 5.04:
libxine1 1.0-1ubuntu3.8

Ubuntu 5.10:
libmms0 0.1-0ubuntu1.2
libxine1c2 1.0.1-1ubuntu10.4

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
libxine-main1 1.1.1+ubuntu2-7.2

In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the
necessary changes.
