Multiple buffer overflow flaws were discovered in xine-lib.

The vulnerabilities are caused due to integer overflow errors when allocating memory in src/demuxers/demuxflv.c, src/demuxers/demuxqt.c, src/demuxers/demuxreal.c, src/demuxers/demuxwc3movie.c, src/demuxers/ebml.c, and src/demuxers/demuxfilm.c. These can be exploited to cause heap-based buffer overflows via overly large fields included in e.g. FLV, MOV, RM, MVE, MKV, and CAK files.

Gentoo:

FWIW, they should all be fixed in 1.2 series, I suppose backporting the relevant changes, if possible, would solve the issue. 1.2 makes good use of calloc rather than using malloc directly.
