NASL family Gentoo Local Security Checks NASL id GENTOO_GLSA-200804-25.NASL description The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200804-25 (VLC: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code) Multiple vulnerabilities were found in VLC: Luigi Auriemma discovered that the stack-based buffer overflow when reading subtitles, which has been reported as CVE-2007-6681 in GLSA 200803-13, was not properly fixed (CVE-2008-1881). Alin Rad Pop of Secunia reported an array indexing vulnerability in the sdpplin_parse() function when processing streams from RTSP servers in Xine code, which is also used in VLC (CVE-2008-0073). Drew Yao and Nico Golde reported an integer overflow in the MP4_ReadBox_rdrf() function in the file libmp4.c leading to a heap-based buffer overflow when reading MP4 files (CVE-2008-1489). Drew Yao also reported integer overflows in the MP4 demuxer, the Real demuxer and in the Cinepak codec, which might lead to buffer overflows (CVE-2008-1768). Drew Yao finally discovered and a boundary error in Cinepak, which might lead to memory corruption (CVE-2008-1769). Impact : A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted media file or stream, possibly resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary code. Workaround : There is no known workaround at this time. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 32045 published 2008-04-25 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2008-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/32045 title GLSA-200804-25 : VLC: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code
