Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.60402
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDVSA-2008:046-1 (xine-lib)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to xine-lib
announced via advisory MDVSA-2008:046-1.

An array index vulnerability found in the FLAC audio demuxer might
allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted FLAC
tag, which triggers a buffer overflow. Although originally an MPlayer
issue, it also affects xine-lib due to code similarity.

The updated packages have been patched to prevent this issue.

Update:

The previous update used a bad patch which made Amarok interface
very unresponsive while playing FLAC files. This new update fixes
the security issue with a better patch.

Affected: 2007.1, 2008.0

Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
