[slackware-security]  xine-lib (SSA:2008-092-01)

New xine-lib packages are available for Slackware 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, 11.0, 12.0,
and -current to fix security issues.

More details about this issue may be found in the Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database:

  http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-1482


Here are the details from the Slackware 12.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
Mon Mar 31 23:33:58 CDT 2008
xap/xine-lib-1.1.11.1-i686-1_slack12.0.tgz:
  Upgraded to xine-lib-1.1.11.1.
  Earlier versions of xine-lib suffer from an integer overflow which may lead
  to a buffer overflow that could potentially be used to gain unauthorized
  access to the machine if a malicious media file is played back.  File types
  affected this time include .flv, .mov, .rm, .mve, .mkv, and .cak.
  For more information on this security issue, please see:
    http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-1482
  (* Security fix *)

Where to find the new packages:
+-----------------------------+

HINT:  Getting slow download speeds from ftp.slackware.com?
Give slackware.osuosl.org a try.  This is another primary FTP site
for Slackware that can be considerably faster than downloading
directly from ftp.slackware.com.

Thanks to the friendly folks at the OSU Open Source Lab
(http://osuosl.org) for donating additional FTP and rsync hosting
to the Slackware project!  :-)

Also see the "Get Slack" section on http://slackware.com for
additional mirror sites near you.
