Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
xine-lib is vulnerable to multiple buffer overflows that could be |
19 |
exploited to execute arbitrary code. |
20 |
|
21 |
Background |
22 |
========== |
23 |
|
24 |
xine is a high performance, portable and reusable multimedia playback |
25 |
engine. xine-lib is xine's core engine. |
26 |
|
27 |
Affected packages |
28 |
================= |

------------------------------------------------------------------- |

Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected |
32 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
33 |
1 media-libs/xine-lib < 1.1.2-r2 >= 1.1.2-r2 |
34 |
|
35 |
Description |
36 |
=========== |
37 |
|
38 |
xine-lib contains buffer overflows in the processing of AVI. |
39 |
Additionally, xine-lib is vulnerable to a buffer overflow in the HTTP |
40 |
plugin (xineplug_inp_http.so) via a long reply from an HTTP server. |
41 |
|
42 |
Impact |
43 |
====== |
44 |
|
45 |
An attacker could trigger the buffer overflow vulnerabilities by |
46 |
enticing a user to load a specially crafted AVI file in xine. This |
47 |
might result in the execution of arbitrary code with the rights of the |
48 |
user running xine. Additionally, a remote HTTP server serving a xine |
49 |
client a specially crafted reply could crash xine and possibly execute |
50 |
arbitrary code. |
51 |
|
52 |
Workaround |
53 |
========== |
54 |
|
55 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
56 |
|
57 |
Resolution |
58 |
========== |
59 |
|
60 |
All xine-lib users should upgrade to the latest version: |
61 |
|
62 |
# emerge --sync |
63 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/xine-lib-1.1.2-r2" |
64 |
