Package: xine-lib
Severity: important

You fixed CVE-2008-5238 but missed one part of the advisory 
which is not fixed:
"In addition, the type_specific_data allocation is not 
checked for failure not for a zero-valued size, an 
unexpected process termination issue."

Any reason you left this out? I think the chances to exploit 
this are not very high as the chance to chose a size malloc 
fails for but memcpy succeeds is not very high on modern 
system having a lot of RAM. However it shouldn't be 
impossible.

Please fix.

Cheers
Nico
