Multiple buffer overflows in the (1) main function in (a) client.c, and the (2) server_setup and (3) server_client_connect functions in (b) server.c in gxine 0.5.9 and earlier allow local users to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) or gain privileges via a long HOME environment variable. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.

Buffer overflow in the HTTP Plugin (xineplug_inp_http.so) for xine-lib 1.1.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a long reply from an HTTP server, as demonstrated using gxine 0.5.6.

Format string vulnerability in gxine 0.4.1 through 0.4.4, and other versions down to 0.3, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a ram file with a URL whose hostname contains format string specifiers.

Buffer overflow in the http_open function in Kaffeine before 0.5, whose code is also used in gxine before 0.3.3, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long Content-Type header for a Real Audio Media (.ram) playlist file.
