(xine-lib: Two heap overflow vulnerabilities)

    Heap overflows have been found in the code handling RealMedia RTSP
    and Microsoft Media Services streams over TCP (MMST).
  
Impact :

    By setting up a malicious server and enticing a user to use its
    streaming data, a remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code
    on the client computer with the permissions of the user running any
    multimedia frontend making use of the xine-lib library.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time."
