Debian: New xine-lib packages fix several vulnerabilities
LinuxSecurity.com: Integer overflow vulnerabilities exist in xine's FLV, QuickTime, RealMedia, MVE and CAK demuxers, as well as the EBML parser used by the Matroska demuxer. These weaknesses allow an attacker to overflow heap buffers and potentially execute arbitrary code by supplying a maliciously crafted file of those types.
GXINE(1) General Commands Manual GXINE(1)NAME
gxine - a GTK/GNOME frontend to the xine video player
SYNOPSIS
gxine [options] [files or MRLs]
DESCRIPTION
gxine plays MPEG system (audio and video) streams, MPEG elementary streams (e.g. .mp3, .mpa or .mpv files), MPEG transport streams, AVI
files, ASF files, Quicktime files, (S)VCDs and DVDs - anything which xine-lib can handle.
Typical usage looks like
gxine some.mpg
gxine -f dvd://
gxine dvd://home/user/dvd/my.iso
Some directories and file names are not treated as ordinary files. They are:
DVD A directory containing a DVD filesystem structure; or a UDF filesystem image, identified by file name ("*.iso").
VCD A cue file, identified by file name.
You can override this by using file://full/path/to/file.
OPTIONS -A audio_driver
--audio audio_driver
Select which libxine audio driver to use. This setting is not permanent, but it does prevent selection of other drivers via the
preferences window.
-V video_driver
--video video_driver
Select which libxine video driver to use. This setting is not permanent, but it does prevent selection of other drivers via the
preferences window.
-S
--no-splash
Don't show the splash window during startup.
-a
--add
Don't clear the playlist before adding any MRLs; start playing the first new MRL.
-e
--enqueue
Don't clear the playlist before adding any MRLs; don't start playing the first new MRL.
-f
--full-screen
Start in full-screen mode.
-c Javascript
--command Javascript
Javascript command(s) to be executed immediately after starting up.
-C KEY=VALUE
--configure KEY=VALUE
Set configuration item KEY to VALUE, e.g. "-c gui.window_size=100%".
-v
--verbose
Verbose mode: output information about plugins, the video stream, commands executed etc. Repeat for more verbosity.
FEATURES
There are a couple of features which aren't immediately obvious: in full-screen mode, you can right-click to get access to the menus, or
middle-click to show or hide the player controls.
