xine-ui: Format string vulnerabilities Format string vulnerabilities in xine-ui may lead to the execution of arbitrary code. xine-ui 2006-04-26 2006-04-26 130801 remote 0.99.4-r5 0.99.4-r5

xine-ui is a skin-based user interface for xine. xine is a free multimedia player. It plays CDs, DVDs, and VCDs, and can also decode other common multimedia formats.

Ludwig Nussel discovered that xine-ui incorrectly implements formatted printing.

By constructing a malicious playlist file, a remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code with the rights of the user running the application.

There is no known workaround at this time.

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

# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-video/xine-ui-0.99.4-r5"
