Mandriva Linux Security Advisory : mplayer (MDVSA-2008:045)
high Nessus Plugin ID 37405
Synopsis
The remote Mandriva Linux host is missing one or more security updates.Description
Heap-based buffer overflow in the rmff_dump_cont function in input/libreal/rmff.c in xine-lib 1.1.9 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via the SDP Abstract attribute, related to the rmff_dump_header function and related to disregarding the max field. Although originally a xine-lib issue, also affects MPlayer due to code similarity. (CVE-2008-0225)Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in the rmff_dump_cont function in input/libreal/rmff.c in xine-lib 1.1.9 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via the SDP (1) Title, (2) Author, or (3) Copyright attribute, related to the rmff_dump_header function, different vectors than CVE-2008-0225. Although originally a xine-lib issue, also affects MPlayer due to code similarity. (CVE-2008-0238)
Array index error in libmpdemux/demux_mov.c in MPlayer 1.0 rc2 and earlier might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a QuickTime MOV file with a crafted stsc atom tag. (CVE-2008-0485)
Array index vulnerability in libmpdemux/demux_audio.c in MPlayer 1.0rc2 and SVN before r25917, and possibly earlier versions, as used in Xine-lib 1.1.10, might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted FLAC tag, which triggers a buffer overflow.
(CVE-2008-0486)
Buffer overflow in stream_cddb.c in MPlayer 1.0rc2 and SVN before r25824 allows remote user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a CDDB database entry containing a long album title.
(CVE-2008-0629)
Buffer overflow in url.c in MPlayer 1.0rc2 and SVN before r25823 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted URL that prevents the IPv6 parsing code from setting a pointer to NULL, which causes the buffer to be reused by the unescape code.
(CVE-2008-0630)
The updated packages have been patched to prevent these issues.
