+ Tobias Klein reported the following vulnerabilities:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>A
+ stack-based buffer overflow when processing CUE image files in
+ modules/access/vcd/cdrom.c (CVE-2008-5032).</li>
+ <li>A stack-based
+ buffer overflow when processing RealText (.rt) subtitle files in the
+ ParseRealText() function in modules/demux/subtitle.c
+ (CVE-2008-5036).</li>
+ <li>An integer overflow when processing RealMedia
+ (.rm) files in the ReadRealIndex() function in real.c in the Real
+ demuxer plugin, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow
+ (CVE-2008-5276).</li>
+ </ul>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted CUE
+ image file, RealMedia file or RealText subtitle file, possibly
+ resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the
+ user running the application.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All VLC users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-video/vlc-0.9.8a"</code>
