Any news here? we already have a pending GLSA for xine-lib (bug #213039 and bug #214270), but with a vulnerability remaining, it's pointless.

Hi Diego and media-video team,

our GLSA draft about xine-lib has been ready for several days now, and we are still waiting for this bug being solved. Please tell us if you plan to include the patches for CVE-2008-1878 very shortly, or if not.

Hi, I tried to fix this issue, but it seems the upstream commit doesn't fix it (xine-lib 1.1 branch still crashes). I'm in contact with diego to resolv this.
Comment 6 Hanno Böck gentoo-dev 2008-06-07 17:35:43 UTC
xine-lib-1.1.12-r1 should fix the buffer overflow. There's another crash-bug, so testing the evil.mp3 will still crash xine, but there's no overflow any more.

pong

wasn't -r1 good enough ? anyway, 1.1.13 is in the tree now.

Changes:
* Security fixes:
  - Buffer overflow in the NSF demuxer which may allow remote attackers to
    cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code
    via an NSF file with a long title or copyright message. (CVE-2008-1878)
  - For extra safety against possible Integer overflows like the ones found
    in CVE-2008-1482, backport more calloc usage from 1.2 branch.
* Added MIME types and .mpp for musepack.
* Fixed display of some MJPEG streams (YUVJ420P).
* Deprecate xine_xmalloc() function, see src/xine-utils/utils.c for more
  information about the reason.
* Provide a useful implementation of xine_register_log_cb().
* New version of the JACK output plugin.
