Slackware 12.0 SSA:2008-092-01 Critical: Xine-Lib Integer Overflow
slackware
April 1, 2008
New xine-lib packages are available for Slackware 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, 11.0, 12.0, and -current to fix security issues
Summary
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: https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2008-1482 (* Security fix *)
Where Find 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
(https://osuosl.org/) for donating additional FTP and rsync hosting
to the Slackware project! :-)
Also see the "Get Slack" section on http://www.slackware.com/ for
additional mirror sites near you.
