The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200604-16 (xine-lib: Buffer overflow vulnerability)

Federico L. Bossi Bonin discovered that when handling MPEG streams     xine-lib fails to make a proper boundary check of the input data     supplied by the user before copying it to an insufficiently sized     memory buffer.

Impact :

A remote attacker could entice a user to play a specially crafted     MPEG file, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the     permissions of the user running the application.

Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.
