Multiple integer overflows in xine-lib 1.1.11 and earlier allow remote attackers to trigger heap-based buffer overflows and possibly execute arbitrary code via (1) a crafted .FLV file, which triggers an overflow in demuxers/demux_flv.c; (2) a crafted .MOV file, which triggers an overflow in demuxers/demux_qt.c; (3) a crafted .RM file, which triggers an overflow in demuxers/demux_real.c; (4) a crafted .MVE file, which triggers an overflow in demuxers/demux_wc3movie.c; (5) a crafted .MKV file, which triggers an overflow in demuxers/ebml.c; or (6) a crafted .CAK file, which triggers an overflow in demuxers/demux_film.c.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2008-1482 is a legacy xine-lib media parsing flaw. A malicious media file could crash an affected player and may allow code execution. Business risk is highest where old Linux media stacks process untrusted files from email, web downloads, shared folders, or automated media workflows. Exposure is likely limited to systems still running xine-lib 1.1.11 or earlier, or distribution packages that had not incorporated 2008 vendor fixes. Modern systems are less likely exposed unless they retain legacy media components. Treat as a targeted legacy-risk cleanup item. Prioritize systems that handle untrusted media, shared downloads, or archived desktop images. It is not KEV-listed in the supplied data, but possible code execution makes unpatched legacy deployments worth closing. Mitigation focus: Upgrade xine-lib using the relevant Linux distribution security advisory.; Remove xine-lib from systems that do not need legacy media playback.; Block or quarantine untrusted FLV, MOV, RM, MVE, MKV, and CAK files where feasible..
