Summary

Multiple integer underflows in the Real demuxer (demux_real.c) in MPlayer 1.0_rc2 and earlier allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (process termination) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted video file that causes the stream_read function to read or write arbitrary memory.

    descriptionThe oCERT team reports : The MPlayer multimedia player suffers from a vulnerability which could result in arbitrary code execution and at the least, in unexpected process termination. Three integer underflows located in the Real demuxer code can be used to exploit a heap overflow, a specific video file can be crafted in order to make the stream_read function reading or writing arbitrary amounts of memory.

Felipe Andres Manzano reported multiple integer underflows in the demux_real_fill_buffer() function in demux_real.c when processing crafted Real Media files that cause the stream_read() function to read or write arbitrary memory (CVE-2008-3827). Tobias Klein reported a stack-based buffer overflow in the demux_open_vqf() function in libmpdemux/demux_vqf.c when processing malformed TwinVQ files (CVE-2008-5616). Impact : A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted STR, Real Media, or TwinVQ file to execute arbitrary code or cause a Denial of Service. Workaround : There is no known workaround at this time.
