New xine-lib packages are available for Slackware 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, 11.0,
12.0, and -current to fix security issues.
An overflow was found in the Speex decoder that could lead to a crash or
possible execution of arbitrary code.
Xine-lib <= 1.1.12 was also found to be vulnerable to a stack-based buffer
overflow in the NES demuxer (thanks to milw0rm.com).
More details about the first issue may be found in the Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database:
https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2008-1686
Here are the details from the Slackware 12.0 ChangeLog:
patches/packages/xine-lib-1.1.11.1-i686-3_slack12.0.tgz:
Recompiled, with --without-speex (we didnβt ship the speex library in
Slackware anyway, but for reference this issue would be CVE-2008-1686),
and with --disable-nosefart (the recently reported as insecurely
demuxed NSF format). As before in -2, this package fixes the two
regressions mentioned in the release notes for xine-lib-1.1.12:
http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=592185&group_id=9655
(* Security fix *)
Where to find the new packages:
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
directly 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 βGet Slackβ section on http://slackware.com for
additional mirror sites near you.
