UNKNOWN Summary
Multiple integer overflows in xine-lib 1.1.11 and earlier allow remote attackers to trigger heap-based buffer overflows and possibly execute arbitrary code via (1) a crafted .FLV file, which triggers an overflow in demuxers/demux_flv.c; (2) a crafted .MOV file, which triggers an overflow in demuxers/demux_qt.c; (3) a crafted .RM file, which triggers an overflow in demuxers/demux_real.c; (4) a crafted .MVE file, which triggers an overflow in demuxers/demux_wc3movie.c; (5) a crafted .MKV file, which triggers an overflow in demuxers/ebml.c; or (6) a crafted .CAK file, which triggers an overflow in demuxers/demux_film.c.

NASL family Mandriva Local Security Checks NASL id MANDRIVA_MDVSA-2008-178.NASL description Alin Rad Pop found an array index vulnerability in the SDP parser of xine-lib. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a malicious RTSP stream, a remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user using the program (CVE-2008-0073). The ASF demuxer in xine-lib did not properly check the length of ASF headers. If a user was tricked into opening a crafted ASF file, a remote attacker could possibly cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user using the program (CVE-2008-1110). The Matroska demuxer in xine-lib did not properly verify frame sizes, which could possibly lead to the execution of arbitrary code if a user opened a crafted ASF file (CVE-2008-1161). Luigi Auriemma found multiple integer overflows in xine-lib. If a user was tricked into opening a crafted FLV, MOV, RM, MVE, MKV, or CAK file, a remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user using the program (CVE-2008-1482). Guido Landi found A stack-based buffer overflow in xine-lib that could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service (crash) and potentially execute arbitrary code via a long NSF title (CVE-2008-1878). The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 36948 published 2009-04-23 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2009-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/36948 title Mandriva Linux Security Advisory : xine-lib (MDVSA-2008:178) NASL family Fedora Local Security Checks NASL id FEDORA_2008-2945.NASL description This updates xine-lib to 1.1.11.1, which fixes the following security vulnerabilities: CVE-2008-0073 array indexing (fixed in 1.1.11), CVE-2008-1482 integer overflow (fixed in 1.1.11.1). It also provides a versioned xine-lib (plugin-abi) so 3rd party packages installing plugins can use it instead of requiring a version of xine-lib.
