Discussion

xine-lib Multiple Heap Based Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities

The 'xine-lib' library is prone to multiple heap-based buffer-overflow vulnerabilities because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied input.

Attackers can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code in the context of applications that use the library. Failed attacks will cause denial-of-service conditions.

These issues affect xine-lib 1.1.11; other versions may also be affected.
