+ allowing for the remote execution of arbitrary code.

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Trixter Jack discovered an array indexing error in the
+ get_intra_block() function in the file src/bitstream/mbcoding.c. The
+ get_inter_block_h263() and get_inter_block_mpeg() functions in the same
+ file were also reported as vulnerable.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary
+ code by tricking a user or automated system into processing a malicious
+ video file with an application that makes use of the Xvid library.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Xvid users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-libs/xvid-1.1.3"</code>
