-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- CONECTIVA LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- PACKAGE : xine-lib SUMMARY : Fixes for xine-lib vulnerabilities DATE : 2005-01-19 13:24:00 ID : CLA-2005:919 RELEVANT RELEASES : 9, 10 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- DESCRIPTION Xine[1] is a free multimedia player that plays back many of the most common multimedia formats available. Ariel Berkman discovered a buffer overflow vulnerability[2] in demux_aiff.c, where it reads specific input data into an array without checking the input size. iDefense noticed another buffer overflow vulnerability in the PNA_TAG handling code in pnm_get_chunk() becose it does not check if the input size is larger than the buffer size (CAN-2004-1187[3]) and also found, in this same function, an integer overflow vulnerability[4]. A remote attacker could specially craft a movie and/or convince a targeted user to connect to a malicious server, which could result in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running any xine-lib frontend. SOLUTION It is recommended that all xine-lib users upgrade their packages. IMPORTANT: All applications that uses xine-lib must be restarted in order to finally close the vulnerabilities.
