Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions xine-lib versions prior to 1.1.15

Description The issue is related to multiple heap-based buffer overflows that can be triggered by sending specific ID3 data to certain functions. This can potentially allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. The vulnerable functions are (1) id3v22 interp frame and (2) id3v24 interp frame, located in src/demuxers/id3.c.

Recommendations For xine-lib versions prior to 1.1.15, update to version 1.1.15 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the id3v22 interp frame and id3v24 interp frame functions until a patch is available. Restrict access to ID3 data processing to minimize the risk of exploitation.
