+ <p>
+ Ulf Harnhammar discovered a format string bug in the routines
+ handling CDDB server response contents.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ An attacker could submit malicious information about an audio CD
+ to a public CDDB server (or impersonate a public CDDB server). When the
+ victim plays this CD on a multimedia frontend relying on xine-lib, it
+ could end up executing arbitrary code.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All xine-lib users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose media-libs/xine-lib</code>
