Multiple remote, client side buffer overflow vulnerabilities reportedly affect xine-lib and MPlayer. These issues are due to a failure of the application to properly validate the length of user-supplied strings prior to copying them into static process buffers. An attacker may exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user that activated the vulnerable application. This may facilitate unauthorized access or privilege escalation.
