Description |
xine-lib contains a flaw that may allow remote execution of arbitrary code. The issue is triggered when a xine-lib based media application, such as xine or gxine, retrieves improper metadata from a malicious CDDB server while playing an audio CD. The metadata is placed in memory on the stack and eventually passed to a fprintf() function as a format string. This allows the malicious user to alter the control flow and to execute malicious code with the permissions of the user running the application.

Solution |
Upgrade to version 1.0.3 or higher, as it has been reported to fix this vulnerability. In addition, the creditee and the vendor released a patch for some older versions.
It is also possible to correct the issue by implementing the following workaround: delete the file "xineplug_inp_cdda.so" from the xine-lib plugin directory. You will lose the ability to play audio CDs.
