Package: libxine1
Version: 1.0.1-1.4
Severity: grave
Tags: security
Justification: user security hole

An exploitable heap overflow has been found in libavcodec's handling
of images with PIX_FMT_PAL8 pixel formats. xine-lib's embedded copy 
is vulnerable as well. Please see
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.ffmpeg.devel/26558
for more information and a demo image.

Upstream's fix can be found at

Cheers,
