libxine Security Vulnerabilities
[Debian Security Advisory DSA-1536-1]
April 10, 2008 14:00 GMT Number S-261
[REVISED 14 Apr 2008]
______________________________________________________________________________
PROBLEM: Several local vulnerabilities have been discovered in Xine, a
media player library, allowed for a denial of service or
arbitrary code execution, which could be exploited through
viewing malicious content.
PLATFORM: Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 (sarge), 4.0 (etch) and (stable)
DAMAGE: DoS or arbitrary code execution.
SOLUTION: Upgrade to the appropriate version.
______________________________________________________________________________
VULNERABILITY The risk is MEDIUM. Allows user-assisted remote attackers to
ASSESSMENT: cause a buffer overflow and possibly execute arbitrary code.

Debian Security Advisory
DSA-1536-1 libxine -- several vulnerabilities
Date Reported:
31 Mar 2008
Affected Packages:
xine-lib
Vulnerable:
Yes
Security database references:
In the Debian bugtracking system: Bug 464696.
In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2007-1246, CVE-2007-1387, CVE-2008-0073,
CVE-2008-0486, CVE-2008-1161.
More information:
Several local vulnerabilities have been discovered in Xine, a media player
library, allowed for a denial of service or arbitrary code execution, which
could be exploited through viewing malicious content. The Common Vulnerabilities
and Exposures project identifies the following problems:
CVE-2007-1246 / CVE-2007-1387
The DMO_VideoDecoder_Open function does not set the biSize before use in a
memcpy, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a buffer overflow
and possibly execute arbitrary code (applies to sarge only).
CVE-2008-0073
Array index error in the sdpplin_parse function allows remote RTSP servers to
execute arbitrary code via a large streamid SDP parameter.
CVE-2008-0486
Array index vulnerability in libmpdemux/demux_audio.c might allow remote
attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted FLAC tag, which triggers a
buffer overflow (applies to etch only).
CVE-2008-1161
Buffer overflow in the Matroska demuxer allows remote attackers to cause a
denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a Matroska
file with invalid frame sizes.
For the old stable distribution (sarge), these problems have been fixed in
version 1.0.1-1sarge7.
For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in version 1.1.2+dfsg-6.
For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 1.1.11-1.
We recommend that you upgrade your xine-lib package.
Fixed in:
Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 (sarge)
