Package | media-libs/xine-lib on all architectures |
---|---|
Affected versions | < 1.1.13 |
Unaffected versions | >= 1.1.13 |
xine-lib is the core library package for the xine media player, and other players such as Amarok, Codeine/Dragon Player and Kaffeine.
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in xine-lib:
A remote attacker could entice a user to play a specially crafted video file or stream with a player using xine-lib, potentially resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the player.
There is no known workaround at this time.
All xine-lib users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/xine-lib-1.1.13"
