CVE-2008-5238
Integer overflow in the real_parse_mdpr function in demux_real.c in xine-lib 1.1.12, and other versions before 1.1.15, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted stream_name_size field.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.65%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
