Here are the details from the Slackware 12.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/xine-lib-1.1.11-i686-1_slack12.0.tgz:
Earlier versions of xine-lib suffer from an array index bug that
may have security implications if a malicious RTSP stream is
played. Playback of other media formats is not affected.
If you use RTSP, you should probably upgrade xine-lib.
For more information on the security issue, please see:
