Ubuntu 6.06 LTS / 7.04 / 7.10 / 8.04 LTS : xine-lib vulnerabilities (USN-635-1)
high Nessus Plugin ID 33940
Synopsis
The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security-related patches.Description
Alin Rad Pop discovered an array index vulnerability in the SDP parser. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a malicious RTSP stream, a remote attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program.(CVE-2008-0073)
Luigi Auriemma discovered that xine-lib did not properly check buffer sizes in the RTSP header-handling code. If xine-lib opened an RTSP stream with crafted SDP attributes, a remote attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program. (CVE-2008-0225, CVE-2008-0238)
Damian Frizza and Alfredo Ortega discovered that xine-lib did not properly validate FLAC tags. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a crafted FLAC file, a remote attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program. (CVE-2008-0486)
It was discovered that the ASF demuxer in xine-lib did not properly check the length if the ASF header. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a crafted ASF file, a remote attacker could cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program. (CVE-2008-1110)
It was discovered that the Matroska demuxer in xine-lib did not properly verify frame sizes. If xine-lib opened a crafted ASF file, a remote attacker could cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program.
(CVE-2008-1161)
Luigi Auriemma discovered multiple integer overflows in xine-lib. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a crafted FLV, MOV, RM, MVE, MKV or CAK file, a remote attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program.
(CVE-2008-1482)
It was discovered that xine-lib did not properly validate its input when processing Speex file headers. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted Speex file, an attacker could create a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code as the user invoking the program. (CVE-2008-1686)
Guido Landi discovered a stack-based buffer overflow in xine-lib when processing NSF files. If xine-lib opened a specially crafted NSF file with a long NSF title, an attacker could create a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code as the user invoking the program.
(CVE-2008-1878).
