-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 [slackware-security] xine-lib (SSA:2008-092-01) New xine-lib packages are available for Slackware 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, 11.0, 12.0, and -current to fix security issues. More details about this issue may be found in the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-1482 Here are the details from the Slackware 12.0 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ Mon Mar 31 23:33:58 CDT 2008 xap/xine-lib-1.1.11.1-i686-1_slack12.0.tgz: Upgraded to xine-lib-1.1.11.1. Earlier versions of xine-lib suffer from an integer overflow which may lead to a buffer overflow that could potentially be used to gain unauthorized access to the machine if a malicious media file is played back. File types affected this time include .flv, .mov, .rm, .mve, .mkv, and .cak. For more information on this security issue, please see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-1482 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Where to find the new packages: +-----------------------------+ HINT: Getting slow download speeds from ftp.slackware.com?
