Date: 2008-05-05
Package: xine-lib
Vulnerable versions: <= 1.1.11-1kalgan2
Unaffected versions: >= 1.1.11-1kalgan3
Related bugreport: http://bugs.frugalware.org/task/3027
CVE: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-1878

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

Guido Landi has discovered a vulnerability in xine-lib, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the "demux_nsf_send_chunk()" function in src/demuxers/demux_nsf.c. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long NSF title.

Updated Packages
================

Check if you have xine-lib installed:

	# pacman-g2 -Q xine-lib

If found, then you should upgrade to the latest version:

	# pacman-g2 -Sy xine-lib
