Detail

Synopsis

xine-lib is vulnerable to multiple buffer overflows when processing media streams.

Background

xine-lib is the core library package for the xine media player, and other players such as Amarok, Codeine/Dragon Player and Kaffeine.

Description

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in xine-lib:

* 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).

* 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).

* 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).

Impact

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.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All xine-lib users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/xine-lib-1.1.13"

Title: DSA-1586 xine-lib -- multiple vulnerabilities
Description: Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in xine-lib, a library which supplies most of the application functionality of the xine multimedia player. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following three problems: Integer overflow vulnerabilities exist in xine's FLV, QuickTime, RealMedia, MVE and CAK demuxers, as well as the EBML parser used by the Matroska demuxer. These weaknesses allow an attacker to overflow heap buffers and potentially execute arbitrary code by supplying a maliciously crafted file of those types. Insufficient input validation in the Speex implementation used by this version of xine enables an invalid array access and the execution of arbitrary code by supplying a maliciously crafted Speex file. Inadequate bounds checking in the NES Sound Format (NSF) demuxer enables a stack buffer overflow and the execution of arbitrary code through a maliciously crafted NSF file.
