Xine-Lib Remote CDDB Information Format String Vulnerability

Xine-lib is susceptible to a remote format-string vulnerability. This issue is due to the application's failure to securely implement a formatted-printing function.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary machine code in the context of the affected application.

Xine-lib versions 0.9.13, 1.0, 1.0.1, 1.0.2, and 1.1.0 are reported to be affected. Other versions may also be affected, as well as all applications that use a vulnerable version of the library.
