VectorAV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: xine version 0.99.4
Description: The issue involves multiple format string vulnerabilities that could allow attackers to cause a denial of service. This can be achieved via format string specifiers in an MP3 filename specified on the command line. The vulnerability might be exploited remotely.

As a temporary workaround, restrict access to command line arguments to prevent potential abuse. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
