The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain kaffeine packages. For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 0.6-1sarge1. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed soon. We recommend that you upgrade your kaffeine package.

Background ========= Kaffeine and gxine are graphical front-ends for xine-lib multimedia library. Affected packages ================ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 media-video/kaffeine < 0.5_rc1-r1 > = 0.5_rc1-r1 *> = 0.4.3b-r1 2 media-video/gxine < 0.3.3-r1 > = 0.3.3-r1 ------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 affected packages on all of their supported architectures. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Description ========== KF of Secure Network Operations has discovered an overflow that occursduring the Content-Type header processing of Kaffeine. The vulnerable code in Kaffeine is reused from gxine, making gxine vulnerable as well. Impact ===== An attacker could create a specially-crafted Content-type header froma malicious HTTP server, and crash a user's instance of Kaffeine or gxine, potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code. Workaround ========= There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========= All Kaffeine users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "> =media-video/kaffeine-0.4.3b-r1" All gxine users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "> =media-video/gxine-0.3.3-r1" References ========= [ 1 ] SecurityTracker Advisory [ 2 ] gxine Bug Report ;aid=1060299&group_id=9655&atid=109655 Availability =========== This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/200411-14 Concerns? ======== Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
