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.

xine-check

XINE-CHECK(1)						      General Commands Manual						     XINE-CHECK(1)

NAME

       xine-check - a checker for the xine video player

SYNOPSIS

       xine-check [-q] [-v] [-B] [-b]
       xine-bugreport [-q] [-v] [-B]

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page  explains  the xine-checker program.	xine-check is a program, which tests the xine video player installation for common
       problems.

       If you experience any problem with or while running xine, running xine-check might provide useful hints for problem tracking.

       xine-check tests the operating system settings, installation of plugins, CD/DVD drive settings and video support parameters.

       If run as xine-bugreport, it will produce a terse system description and guide you through the process of reporting a bug. This is the pre-
       ferred way to report xine bugs, as it's easier for you and provides the developers with a more complete bugreport.

OPTIONS

       The  program  follows  usual  GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-').  A summary of options are included
       below.  For a complete description, see README and FAQ in /usr/share/doc/xine-ui or on the xine home page.

       -h, --help
	      Show summary of options and version number.

       The remaining options, labelled XINE-CHECK options: when listed with "xine-check --help", are explained here.

       -q, --quiet
	      Only give a single one-line messages, even if problems are found.  Normally xine-check provides hints for  every	problem  found	to
	      help solve the problem.

       -v, --verbose
	      Enable extended output describing each check in detail, which produces a kind of frequently asked questions (FAQ) list.

       -B, --batch
	      Turn  off  pause	after  long  messages.	Normally xine-check waits for confirmation after a problem was found or a long message was
	      printed.

       -b, --bug
	      Produce a bug report. This is the same as calling xine-bugreport directly.

BUGS

       none, of course ;-) Well, there are surely a few of those. You can probably best ask for support (and report bugs) on our mailing  list	at
       <xine-user@lists.sf.net>.
