Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions xine-lib versions 1.1.12 and earlier

Description The issue is a stack-based buffer overflow in the demux nsf send chunk function, located in src/demuxers/demux nsf.c. This allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, potentially leading to a crash, and may also enable the execution of arbitrary code if a long NSF title is sent.

Recommendations For xine-lib versions 1.1.12 and earlier, as a temporary workaround, consider disabling the demux nsf send chunk function until a patch is available. Restrict access to the demux nsf.c module to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using long NSF titles in the affected function until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
