Detail

The real_parse_headers function in demux_real.c in xine-lib 1.1.12, and other 1.1.15 and earlier versions, relies on an untrusted input length value to "reindex into an allocated buffer," which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted value, probably an array index error.

Id Description
47743 xine-lib src/demuxers/demux_real.c Multiple Function Overflows

Multiple overflows exists in xine-lib. The Real demuxer (src/demuxers/demux_real.c) fails to properly sanitize input to the real_parse_audio_specific_data(), real_parse_mdpr() and real_parse_headers() functions resulting in an overflow. With a specially crafted file or request, an attacker can cause the execution of arbitrary code or force process termination.
