Package name xine-ui
Date August 9th, 2007
Advisory ID MDKSA-2007:154
Affected versions 2007.1

Problem Description

Format string vulnerability in the errors_create_window function in
errors.c in xine-ui allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via
unknown vectors. (CVE-2007-0254)

XINE 0.99.4 allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial
of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code
via a certain M3U file that contains a long #EXTINF line and contains
format string specifiers in an invalid udp:// URI, possibly a variant
of CVE-2007-0017. (CVE-2007-0255)

Updated packages have been patched to prevent these issues.
