Here are the details from the Slackware 10.1 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ patches/packages/xine-lib-1.0.1-i686-1.tgz: Upgraded to xine-lib-1.0.1. This fixes some bugs in the MMS and Real RTSP streaming client code. While the odds of this vulnerability being usable to a remote attacker are low (but see the xine advisory), if you stream media from sites using these protocols (and you think the sites might be "hostile" and will try to hack into your xine client), then you might want to upgrade to this new version of xine-lib. Probably the other fixes and enchancements in xine-lib-1.0.1 are a better rationale to do so, though. For more details on the xine-lib security issues, see: http://xinehq.de/index.php/security/XSA-2004-8 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+
Where to find the new packages: +-----------------------------+
Upgrade the xine-lib package as root: # upgradepkg xine-lib-1.0.1-i686-1.tgz
The xine-lib frontends (xine-ui and gxine) have been upgraded as well (but these are optional upgrades that do not fix any known security issues.) Upgrade these in the same way:
