PARTIAL Summary

NASL family Gentoo Local Security Checks NASL id GENTOO_GLSA-200409-30.NASL description The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200409-30 (xine-lib: Multiple vulnerabilities) xine-lib contains two stack-based overflows and one heap-based overflow. In the code reading VCD disc labels, the ISO disc label is copied into an unprotected stack buffer of fixed size. Also, there is a buffer overflow in the code that parses subtitles and prepares them for display (XSA-2004-4). Finally, xine-lib contains a heap-based overflow in the DVD sub-picture decoder (XSA-2004-5). (Please note that the VCD MRL issue mentioned in XSA-2004-4 was fixed with GLSA 200408-18.) Impact : With carefully-crafted VCDs, DVDs, MPEGs or subtitles, an attacker may cause xine-lib to execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user. Workaround : There is no known workaround at this time. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 14798 published 2004-09-23 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2004-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/14798 title GLSA-200409-30 : xine-lib: Multiple vulnerabilities code #%NASL_MIN_LEVEL 80502 # # (C) Tenable Network Security, Inc. # # The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were # extracted from Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 200409-30. # # The advisory text is Copyright (C) 2001-2018 Gentoo Foundation, Inc. # and licensed under the Creative Commons - Attribution / Share Alike # license.
