Detail

Problem Description:

An updated HelixPlayer package that fixes several security issues is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.

This update has been rated as having critical security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 4 - i386, ppc, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop version 4 - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 4 - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 4 - i386, x86_64

3. Description:

HelixPlayer is a media player.

Multiple buffer and integer overflow flaws were found in the way HelixPlayer processed Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) files. An attacker could create a specially-crafted GIF file which would cause HelixPlayer to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code when opened. (CVE-2009-4242, CVE-2009-4245)

A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way HelixPlayer processed Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL) files. An attacker could create a specially-crafted SMIL file which would cause HelixPlayer to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code when opened. (CVE-2009-4257)

A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way HelixPlayer handled the Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) SET_PARAMETER directive. A malicious RTSP server could use this flaw to crash HelixPlayer or, potentially, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2009-4248)

Multiple buffer overflow flaws were discovered in the way HelixPlayer handled RuleBook structures in media files and RTSP streams. Specially-crafted input could cause HelixPlayer to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2009-4247, CVE-2010-0417)

A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way HelixPlayer performed URL un-escaping. A specially-crafted URL string could cause HelixPlayer to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2010-0416)

All HelixPlayer users are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which contains backported patches to resolve these issues. All running instances of HelixPlayer must be restarted for this update to take effect.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-11259

5. Bugs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

561309 - CVE-2009-4257 HelixPlayer / RealPlayer: SMIL getAtom heap buffer overflow 561338 - CVE-2009-4247 HelixPlayer / RealPlayer: RTSP client ASM RuleBook stack buffer overflow 561361 - CVE-2009-4248 HelixPlayer / RealPlayer: RTSP SET_PARAMETER buffer overflow 561436 - CVE-2009-4242 HelixPlayer / RealPlayer: GIF file heap overflow 561441 - CVE-2009-4245 HelixPlayer / RealPlayer: compressed GIF heap overflow 561856 - CVE-2010-0416 HelixPlayer / RealPlayer: URL unescape buffer overflow 561860 - CVE-2010-0417 HelixPlayer / RealPlayer: rule book handling heap corruption
