Advisories MDVSA-2008:020: Updated xine-lib packages fix remote code execution vulnerabilities
Two vulnerabilities discovered in xine-lib allow remote execution of
arbitrary code:

Heap-based buffer overflow in the rmff_dump_cont function in
input/libreal/rmff.c in xine-lib 1.1.9 and earlier allows remote
attackers to execute arbitrary code via the SDP Abstract attribute,
related to the rmff_dump_header function and related to disregarding
the max field. (CVE-2008-0225)

Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in the rmff_dump_cont function
in input/libreal/rmff.c in xine-lib 1.1.9 allow remote attackers
to execute arbitrary code via the SDP (1) Title, (2) Author, or
(3) Copyright attribute, related to the rmff_dump_header function,
different vectors than CVE-2008-0225. (CVE-2008-0238)

Besides those security issues, the xine-lib provided in Mandriva
Linux 2008.0 and 2007.1 did not automatically use Real binary
codecs, when the user had them installed in /usr/lib64/real
on x86_64 architecture. Also, xine-lib of Mandriva Linux
2007.1 did not automatically use the Real codecs from
/usr/lib/RealPlayer10GOLD/codecs, which is provided by RealPlayer
package of Mandriva Powerpack editions.

The updated packages fix these issues.
