+ <p>
+ MPlayer is a movie player capable of handling multiple multimedia file
+ formats. xine-lib is a multimedia player library used by several graphical
+ user interfaces, including xine-ui. They both use the same code to handle
+ Real-Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) streams from RealNetworks servers.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Multiple vulnerabilities have been found and fixed in the RTSP handling
+ code common to recent versions of these two packages. These vulnerabilities
+ include several remotely exploitable buffer overflows.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker, posing as a RTSP stream server, can execute arbitrary
+ code with the rights of the user of the software playing the stream
+ (MPlayer or any player using xine-lib). Another attacker may entice a user
+ to use a maliciously crafted URL or playlist to achieve the same results.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ For MPlayer, there is no known workaround at this time. For xine-lib, you
+ can delete the xineplug_inp_rtsp.so file.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All users should upgrade to non-vulnerable versions of MPlayer and
+ xine-lib:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge sync
+
+ # emerge -pv "&gt;=media-video/mplayer-1.0_pre4"
+ # emerge "&gt;=media-video/mplayer-1.0_pre4"
+
+ # emerge -pv "&gt;=media-libs/xine-lib-1_rc4"
+ # emerge "&gt;=media-libs/xine-lib-1_rc4"</code>
