Mandriva Linux Security Advisory – 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
