Mandriva Linux Security Advisory : xine-lib (MDVSA-2008:178)

high Nessus Plugin ID 36948

Synopsis

The remote Mandriva Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

Alin Rad Pop found an array index vulnerability in the SDP parser of xine-lib. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a malicious RTSP stream, a remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user using the program (CVE-2008-0073).

The ASF demuxer in xine-lib did not properly check the length of ASF headers. If a user was tricked into opening a crafted ASF file, a remote attacker could possibly cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user using the program (CVE-2008-1110).

The Matroska demuxer in xine-lib did not properly verify frame sizes, which could possibly lead to the execution of arbitrary code if a user opened a crafted ASF file (CVE-2008-1161).

Luigi Auriemma found multiple integer overflows in xine-lib. If a user was tricked into opening a crafted FLV, MOV, RM, MVE, MKV, or CAK file, a remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user using the program (CVE-2008-1482).

Guido Landi found A stack-based buffer overflow in xine-lib that could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service (crash) and potentially execute arbitrary code via a long NSF title (CVE-2008-1878).

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
