Synopsis
========

xine-lib and FFmpeg are vulnerable to a buffer overflow that may be
exploited by attackers to execute arbitrary code.

Background
==========

xine is a GPL high-performance, portable and reusable multimedia
playback engine. xine-lib is xine's core engine. FFmpeg is a very fast
video and audio converter and is used in xine-lib.

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

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 media-libs/xine-lib < 1.1.1-r3 >= 1.1.1-r3
2 media-video/ffmpeg < 0.4.9_p20051216 >= 0.4.9_p20051216
-------------------------------------------------------------------
2 affected packages on all of their supported architectures.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

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

Simon Kilvington has reported a vulnerability in FFmpeg libavcodec. The
flaw is due to a buffer overflow error in the
"avcodec_default_get_buffer()" function. This function doesn't properly
handle specially crafted PNG files as a result of a heap overflow.

Impact
======

A remote attacker could entice a user to run an FFmpeg based
application on a maliciously crafted PNG file, resulting in the
execution of arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running
the application.

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-1.1.1-r3"

All FFmpeg users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-video/ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20051216"
