Description |
| 36 |
=========== |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in xine-lib: |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
* Alin Rad Pop of Secunia reported an array indexing vulnerability in |
| 41 |
the sdpplin_parse() function in the file input/libreal/sdpplin.c when |
| 42 |
processing streams from RTSP servers that contain a large "streamid" |
| 43 |
SDP parameter (CVE-2008-0073). |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
* Luigi Auriemma reported multiple integer overflows that result in |
| 46 |
heap-based buffer overflows when processing ".FLV", ".MOV" ".RM", |
| 47 |
".MVE", ".MKV", and ".CAK" files (CVE-2008-1482). |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
* Guido Landi reported a stack-based buffer overflow in the |
| 50 |
demux_nsf_send_chunk() function when handling titles within NES Music |
| 51 |
(.NSF) files (CVE-2008-1878). |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
Impact |
| 54 |
====== |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
A remote attacker could entice a user to play a specially crafted video |
| 57 |
file or stream with a player using xine-lib, potentially resulting in |
| 58 |
the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running |
| 59 |
the player. |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
Workaround |
| 62 |
========== |
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
| 65 |
|
| 66 |
Resolution |
| 67 |
========== |
| 68 |
|
| 69 |
All xine-lib users should upgrade to the latest version: |
| 70 |
|
| 71 |
# emerge --sync |
| 72 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/xine-lib-1.1.13" |
| 73 |
|
| 74 |
