[Mantas Kriaučiūnas]

Public bug reported:

Please backport xine-lib 1.1.14-1ubuntu1 from intrepid it contains lots
of security and other very important bugfixes, fixed since hardy's xine-
lib 1.1.11.1-1ubuntu3, also some very important improvements, eg. in DVB
support.

this will solve several important bugs, like:
* [CVE-2008-1878] Inadequate bounds checking in the NES Sound Format (NSF) demuxer
* LP bug #93076 - important display bug with Motion JPEG video's (such videos are produced by most photo cameras)

I'm pasting important info from xine-lib 1.1.12, 1.1.13 and 1.1.14
Release Notes:

xine-lib 1.1.12
This release contains a security fix (unchecked array index, CVE-2008-1686). There are also a few bug fixes (including the 1.1.11.1 regressions, which broke Quicktime container handling), a new version of the pulseaudio output plugin, and open-source support for RealAudio “cook”.
For front-end package maintainers, there's a tool to help maintain MIME type lists, and for developers who need raw frame data, you can now get that with the “raw” video output plugin. 
See http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=592185&group_id=9655 for full release notes

xine-lib 1.1.13
Maintenance & security-fix release.
* Security fixes:
  - Buffer overflow in the NSF demuxer which may allow remote attackers to
    cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code
    via an NSF file with a long title or copyright message. (CVE-2008-1878)
  - For extra safety against possible Integer overflows like the ones found
    in CVE-2008-1482, backport more calloc usage from 1.2 branch.
* Added MIME types and .mpp for musepack.
* Fixed display of some MJPEG streams (YUVJ420P).
* Provide a useful implementation of xine_register_log_cb().
* New version of the JACK output plugin.

xine-lib 1.1.14
Adds Xv port & type selection (this is backported from the 1.2 branch) and improved content type detection for HTTP streams. There are some DVB and V4L improvements, and a DVB audio bug, introduced in 1.1.13, is fixed.
