New xine-lib packages are available for Slackware 10.0, 10.1, and -current to fix security issues. The xine frontends have also been upgraded.

Here are the details from the Slackware 10.1 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/xine-lib-1.0.1-i686-1.tgz: Upgraded to xine-lib-1.0.1.
This fixes some bugs in the MMS and Real RTSP streaming client code.
While the odds of this vulnerability being usable to a remote attacker are
low (but see the xine advisory), if you stream media from sites using these
protocols (and you think the sites might be "hostile" and will try to hack
into your xine client), then you might want to upgrade to this new version
of xine-lib. Probably the other fixes and enchancements in xine-lib-1.0.1
are a better rationale to do so, though.

(but these are optional upgrades that do not fix any known security
issues.) Upgrade these in the same way:

# upgradepkg gxine-0.4.4-i486-1.tgz xine-ui-0.99.3-i686-1.tgz
