New xine-lib packages are available for Slackware 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, 11.0,
and -current to fix security issues.
More details about this issue may be found in the Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database:
https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2007-1246
Here are the details from the Slackware 11.0 ChangeLog:
Upgraded to xine-lib-1.1.6.
This fixes overflows in xine-lib in some little-used media formats in
xine-lib < 1.1.5 and other bugs in xine-lib < 1.1.6. The overflows in
xine-lib < 1.1.5 could definitely cause an application using xine-lib to
crash, and it is theorized that a malicious media file could be made to run
arbitrary code in the context of the user running the application.
For more information, see:

(* Security fix *)

HINT: Getting slow download speeds from ftp.slackware.com?
Give slackware.osuosl.org a try. This is another primary FTP site
for Slackware that can be considerably faster than downloading
from ftp.slackware.com.
Thanks to the friendly folks at the OSU Open Source Lab
(http://osuosl.org) for donating additional FTP and rsync hosting
to the Slackware project! :-)
Also see the “Get Slack” section on http://slackware.com for
additional mirror sites near you.
