Integer overflow in the 4xm demuxer (demuxers/demux4xm.c) in xine-lib 1.1.16.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a 4X movie file with a large currenttrack value, a similar issue to CVE-2009-0385.
Buffer overflow in the asmrpeval function in the RealMedia RTSP stream handler (asmrp.c) for Real Media input plugin, as used in (1) xine/xine-lib, (2) MPlayer 1.0rc1 and earlier, and possibly others, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a rulebook with a large number of rulematches.

The pnmgetchunk function in xine 0.99.2 and earlier, and other packages such as MPlayer that use the same code, does not properly verify that the chunk size is less than the PREAMBLESIZE, which causes a read operation with a negative length that leads to a buffer overflow via (1) RMFTAG, (2) DATATAG, (3) PROPTAG, (4) MDPRTAG, and (5) CONTTAG values, a different vulnerability than CVE-2004-1187.
Buffer overflow in the openaifffile function in demuxaiff.c for xine-lib (libxine) 1-rc7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted AIFF file.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the pnmgetchunk function for xine 0.99.2, and other packages such as MPlayer that use the same code, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via long PNATAG values, a different vulnerability than CVE-2004-1188.
Buffer overflow in the httpopen function in Kaffeine before 0.5, whose code is also used in gxine before 0.3.3, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long Content-Type header for a Real Audio Media (.ram) playlist file.

Multiple buffer overflows in the Real-Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) client for (1) MPlayer before 1.0pre4 and (2) xine lib (xine-lib) before 1-rc4, when playing Real RTSP (realrtsp) streams, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via (a) long URLs, (b) long Real server responses, or (c) long Real Data Transport (RDT) packets.
Format string vulnerability in inputcdda.c in xine-lib 1-beta through 1-beta 3, 1-rc, 1.0 through 1.0.2, and 1.1.1 allows remote servers to execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in metadata in CDDB server responses when the victim plays a CD.
Format string vulnerability in gxine 0.4.1 through 0.4.4, and other versions down to 0.3, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a ram file with a URL whose hostname contains format string specifiers.
Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in the code used to handle (1) MMS over TCP (MMST) streams or (2) RealMedia RTSP streams in xine-lib before 1.0, and other products that use xine-lib such as MPlayer 1.0pre6 and earlier, allow remote malicious servers to execute arbitrary code.
Buffer overflow in ffmpeg for xine-lib before 1.1.2 might allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted AVI file and "bad indexes", a different vulnerability than CVE-2005-4048 and CVE-2006-2802.
Buffer overflow in the HTTP Plugin (xinepluginphttp.so) for xine-lib 1.1.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a long reply from an HTTP server, as demonstrated using gxine 0.5.6.
Stack-based buffer overflow in libmms, as used by (a) MiMMS 0.0.9 and (b) xine-lib 1.1.0 and earlier, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via the (1) sendcommand, (2) stringutf16, (3) getdata, and (4) getmediapacket functions, and possibly other functions.
Multiple format string vulnerabilities in xiTK (xitk/main.c) in xine 0.99.4 might allow attackers to cause a denial of service via format string specifiers in an MP3 filename specified on the command line. NOTE: this is a different vulnerability than CVE-2006-1905. In addition, if the only attack vectors involve a user-assisted, local command line argument of a non-setuid program, this issue might not be a vulnerability.
Multiple format string vulnerabilities in xiTK (xitk/main.c) in xine 0.99.3 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in a long filename on an EXTINFO line in a playlist file.
Buffer overflow in xinelistdeletecurrent in libxine 1.14 and earlier, as distributed in xine-lib 1.1.1 and earlier, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted MPEG stream.
Format string vulnerability in the errorscreatewindow function in errors.c in xine-ui allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors.
XINE 0.99.4 allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a certain M3U file that contains a long #EXTINF line and contains format string specifiers in an invalid udp:// URI, possibly a variant of CVE-2007-0017.
Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in xine-lib 1.1.12, and other versions before 1.1.15, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors related to (1) a crafted metadata atom size processed by the parsemoovatom function in demuxqt.c and (2) frame reading in the id3v23interpframe function in id3.c. NOTE: as of 20081122, it is possible that vector 1 has not been fixed in 1.1.15.
The realparseaudiospecificdata function in demuxreal.c in xine-lib 1.1.12, and other 1.1.15 and earlier versions, uses an untrusted height (aka codecdatalength) value as a divisor, which allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and crash) via a zero value.
demuxqt.c in xine-lib 1.1.12, and other 1.1.15 and earlier versions, does not validate the count field before calling calloc for STSDATOM atom allocation, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted media file.
xine-lib before 1.1.15 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via "MP3 files with metadata consisting only of separators."
xine-lib 1.1.12, and other 1.1.15 and earlier versions, relies on an untrusted input value to determine the memory allocation and does not check the result for (1) the MATROSKAIDTRCODECPRIVATE track entry element processed by demuxmatroska.c; and (2) PROPTAG, (3) MDPRTAG, and (4) CONTTAG chunks processed by the realparseheaders function in demuxreal.c; which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted value.
Integer overflow in the realparsemdpr function in demuxreal.c in xine-lib 1.1.12, and other versions before 1.1.15, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted streamnamesize field.
