Descriptions

xine-lib before 1.1.15 performs V4L video frame preallocation before ascertaining the required length, which has unknown impact and attack vectors, possibly related to a buffer overflow in the open_video_capture_device function in src/input/input_v4l.c.

xine-lib anterior a 1.1.15 realiza marcos de video V4L preasignados antes del establecimiento de la longitud requerida, la cuál tiene un impacto y vectores de ataque desconocidos, posiblemente relacionado con un desbordamiento de búfer en la función open_video_capture_device en src/input/input_v4l.c.

Failure on Ogg files manipulation can lead remote attackers to cause a denial of service by using crafted files. Failure on manipulation of either MNG or Real or MOD files can lead remote attackers to cause a denial of service by using crafted files. Heap-based overflow allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by using Quicktime media files holding crafted metadata. Heap-based overflow allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by using either crafted Matroska or Real media files. Failure on manipulation of either MNG or Quicktime files can lead remote attackers to cause a denial of service by using crafted files. Multiple heap-based overflow on input plugins (http, net, smb, dvd, dvb, rtsp, rtp, pvr, pnm, file, gnome_vfs, mms) allow attackers to execute arbitrary code by handling that input channels. Various other issues have also been addressed. Packages for 2008.0 are being provided due to extended support for Corporate products. This update fixes these issues.
