Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

Heap-based buffer overflow in modules/access/rtsp/real_sdpplin.c in the Xine library, as used in VideoLAN VLC Media Player 0.8.6d and earlier, allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code via long Session Description Protocol (SDP) data.

per Debian this does not affect xine-lib, just vlc as it ships a really old version
