Synopsis
========

xine-lib contains multiple overflows potentially allowing execution of
arbitrary code.

Background
==========

xine-lib is a multimedia library which can be utilized to create
multimedia frontends.

Affected packages
=================

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package              /  Vulnerable  /                  Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  media-libs/xine-lib     < 1_rc8-r1                    >= 1_rc8-r1
                                                          *>= 1_rc6-r1


Description
===========

Ariel Berkman discovered that xine-lib reads specific input data into
an array without checking the input size in demux_aiff.c, making it
vulnerable to a buffer overflow (CAN-2004-1300) . iDefense discovered
that the PNA_TAG handling code in pnm_get_chunk() does not check if the
input size is larger than the buffer size (CAN-2004-1187). iDefense
also discovered that in this same function, a negative value could be
given to an unsigned variable that specifies the read length of input
data (CAN-2004-1188).

Impact
======

A remote attacker could craft a malicious movie or convince a targeted
user to connect to a malicious PNM server, which could result in the
execution of arbitrary code with the rights of the user running any
xine-lib frontend.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All xine-lib users should upgrade to the latest version:

    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose media-libs/xine-lib
