Slackware: 2007-109-02: xine-lib Security Update
Summary
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: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-1246 (* Security fix *)
Where Find 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
from ftp.slackware.com.
Thanks to the friendly folks at the OSU Open Source Lab
(https://osuosl.org/) for donating additional FTP and rsync hosting
to the Slackware project! :-)
Also see the "Get Slack" section on http://www.slackware.com/ for
additional mirror sites near you.
