DESCRIPTION:
Guido Landi has discovered a vulnerability in xine-lib, which can be
exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the
"demux_nsf_send_chunk()" function in src/demuxers/demux_nsf.c. This
can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly
long NSF title.

also be affected.
