DESCRIPTION:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in xine-lib, which can be
exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

1) A boundary error within the VideoCD functionality when reading ISO
disk labels can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by
passing an overly long disk label.

2) A boundary error within the handling of text subtitles can be
exploited to cause a buffer overflow and may allow arbitrary code
execution via a specially crafted file.

3) A boundary error within the DVD subpicture decoder can be
exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow. This may allow
execution of arbitrary code via e.g. a malicious MPEG file.
