Detail

Synopsis

Multiple vulnerabilities in FFmpeg may lead to the remote execution of arbitrary code or a Denial of Service.

Background

FFmpeg is a complete solution to record, convert and stream audio and video. gst-plugins-ffmpeg is a FFmpeg based gstreamer plugin which includes a vulnerable copy of FFmpeg code. Mplayer is a multimedia player which also includes a vulnerable copy of the code.

Description

Multiple vulnerabilities were found in FFmpeg:

* astrange reported a stack-based buffer overflow in the str_read_packet() in libavformat/psxstr.c when processing .str files (CVE-2008-3162).

* Multiple buffer overflows in libavformat/utils.c (CVE-2008-4866).

* A buffer overflow in libavcodec/dca.c (CVE-2008-4867).

* An unspecified vulnerability in the avcodec_close() function in libavcodec/utils.c (CVE-2008-4868).

* Unspecified memory leaks (CVE-2008-4869).

* Tobias Klein repoerted a NULL pointer dereference due to an integer signedness error in the fourxm_read_header() function in libavformat/4xm.c (CVE-2009-0385).

Impact

A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted media file, possibly leading to the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application, or a Denial of Service.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All FFmpeg users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose >=media-video/ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20090201"

All gst-plugins-ffmpeg users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose
>=media-plugins/gst-plugins-ffmpeg-0.10.5"

All Mplayer users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose >=media-video/mplayer-1.0_rc2_p28450"

Title: USN-734-1 -- ffmpeg, ffmpeg-debian vulnerabilities
Description: It was discovered that FFmpeg did not correctly handle certain malformed Ogg Media files. If a user were tricked into opening a crafted Ogg Media file, an attacker could cause the application using FFmpeg to crash, leading to a denial of service. It was discovered that FFmpeg did not correctly handle certain parameters when creating DTS streams. If a user were tricked into processing certain commands, an attacker could cause a denial of service via application crash, or possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program. This issue only affected Ubuntu 8.10. It was discovered that FFmpeg did not correctly handle certain malformed DTS Coherent Acoustics files. If a user were tricked into opening a crafted DCA file, an attacker could cause a denial of service via application crash, or possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program. It was discovered that FFmpeg did not correctly handle certain malformed 4X movie files. If a user were tricked into opening a crafted 4xm file, an attacker could execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program
