UNKNOWN Summary
Buffer overflow in the asmrp_eval function in the RealMedia RTSP stream handler (asmrp.c) for Real Media input plugin, as used in (1) xine/xine-lib, (2) MPlayer 1.0rc1 and earlier, and possibly others, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a rulebook with a large number of rulematches.

When checking for matching asm rules, the code stores the results in a fixed-size array, but no boundary checks are performed. This may lead to a buffer overflow if the user is tricked into connecting to a malicious server. Since the attacker cannot write arbitrary data into the buffer, creating an exploit is very hard; but a DoS attack is easily made. A fix for this problem was committed to SVN on Sun Dec 31 13:27:53 2006 UTC as r21799. The fix involves three files: stream/realrtsp/asmrp.c, stream/realrtsp/asmrp.h and stream/realrtsp/real.c. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 24007 published 2007-01-11 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2007-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/24007 title FreeBSD : mplayer -- buffer overflow in the code for RealMedia RTSP streams.

Impact : An attacker can entice a user to connect to a manipulated RTSP server resulting in a Denial of Service and possibly execution of arbitrary code. Workaround : There is no known workaround at this time. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 24731 published 2007-02-28 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2007-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/24731 title GLSA-200702-11 : MPlayer: Buffer overflow NASL family Gentoo Local Security Checks NASL id GENTOO_GLSA-200612-02.NASL description The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200612-02 (xine-lib: Buffer overflow) A possible buffer overflow has been reported in the Real Media input plugin. Impact : An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by enticing a user into loading a specially crafted stream with xine or an application using xine-lib. This can lead to a Denial of Service and possibly the execution of arbitrary code with the rights of the user running the application. Workaround : There is no known workaround at this time. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 23796 published 2006-12-11 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2006-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/23796 title GLSA-200612-02 : xine-lib: Buffer overflow NASL family Mandriva Local Security Checks NASL id MANDRAKE_MDKSA-2006-224.NASL description Buffer overflow in the asmrp_eval function for the Real Media input plugin allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a rulebook with a large number of rulematches.
