Detail

An integer overflow has been discovered in helix-player, the helix audio and video player. This flaw could allow a remote attacker to run arbitrary code on a victims computer by supplying a specially crafted network resource.

This vulnerability is fixed by version 1.0.6-1 in unstable. Helix-player is not currently in the testing distribution.

The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain a helix-player package.

For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in version 1.0.4-1sarge2.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 1.0.6-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your helix-player package.

Title: Integer overflow in RealNetworks RealPlayer 8, 10, and 10.5, RealOne Player 1 and 2, and Helix Player 10.0.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an .rm movie file with a large value in the length field of the first data packet, which leads to a stack-based buffer overflow, a different vulnerability than CVE-2004-1481.
