  <description>
    <p>
    Trixter Jack discovered an array indexing error in the
    get_intra_block() function in the file src/bitstream/mbcoding.c. The
    get_inter_block_h263() and get_inter_block_mpeg() functions in the same
    file were also reported as vulnerable.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary
    code by tricking a user or automated system into processing a malicious
    video file with an application that makes use of the Xvid library.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All Xvid users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-libs/xvid-1.1.3"</code>
