Multiple overflows exists in xine-lib. The Real demuxer (src/demuxers/demux_real.c) fails to properly sanitize input to the real_parse_audio_specific_data(), real_parse_mdpr() and real_parse_headers() functions resulting in an overflow. With a specially crafted file or request, an attacker can cause the execution of arbitrary code or force process termination.
