Debian Security Advisory DSA 477-1                     [e-mail:security@debian.org]

Package        : xine-ui
Vulnerability  : insecure temporary file creation
Problem-Type   : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID         : CAN-2004-0372
Bugtraq ID     : 9939

Shaun Colley discovered a problem in xine-ui, the xine video player
user interface.  A script contained in the package to possibly remedy
a problem or report a bug does not create temporary files in a secure
fashion.  This could allow a local attacker to overwrite files with
the privileges of the user invoking xine.

This update also removes the bug reporting facility since bug reports
can't be processed upstream anymore.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 0.9.8-5.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you upgrade your xine-ui package.


Upgrade Instructions
- --------------------

wget url
        will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
        will install the referenced file.

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:

apt-get update
        will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
        will install corrected packages

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
