| Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in xine-lib: |
| </p> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| Alin Rad Pop of Secunia reported an array indexing vulnerability in the |
| sdpplin_parse() function in the file input/libreal/sdpplin.c when |
| processing streams from RTSP servers that contain a large "streamid" |
| SDP parameter (CVE-2008-0073). |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Luigi Auriemma reported multiple integer overflows that result in |
| heap-based buffer overflows when processing ".FLV", ".MOV" ".RM", |
| ".MVE", ".MKV", and ".CAK" files (CVE-2008-1482). |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Guido Landi reported a stack-based buffer overflow in the |
| demux_nsf_send_chunk() function when handling titles within NES Music |
| (.NSF) files (CVE-2008-1878). |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| </description> |
| <impact type="normal"> |
| <p> |
| A remote attacker could entice a user to play a specially crafted video |
| file or stream with a player using xine-lib, potentially resulting in |
| the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running |
| the player. |
| </p> |
| </impact> |
| <workaround> |
| <p> |
| There is no known workaround at this time. |
| </p> |
| </workaround> |
| <resolution> |
| <p> |
| All xine-lib users should upgrade to the latest version: |
| </p> |
| <code> |
| # emerge --sync |
| # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/xine-lib-1.1.13"</code> |
| </resolution> |
