+ 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.

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ 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.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ 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.
+ </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 "&gt;=media-libs/xine-lib-1.1.1-r3"</code>
+ <p>
+ All FFmpeg users should upgrade to the latest version:
