-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ===================================================================== Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Critical: HelixPlayer security update Advisory ID: RHSA-2010:0094-02 Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2010-0094.html Issue date: 2010-02-09 CVE Names: CVE-2009-4242 CVE-2009-4245 CVE-2009-4247 CVE-2009-4248 CVE-2009-4257 CVE-2010-0416 CVE-2010-0417 ===================================================================== 1. Summary: An updated HelixPlayer package that fixes several security issues is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4. This update has been rated as having critical security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 4 - i386, ppc, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop version 4 - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 4 - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 4 - i386, x86_64 3. Description: HelixPlayer is a media player. Multiple buffer and integer overflow flaws were found in the way HelixPlayer processed Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) files. An attacker could create a specially-crafted GIF file which would cause HelixPlayer to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code when opened. (CVE-2009-4242, CVE-2009-4245) A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way HelixPlayer processed Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL) files. An attacker could create a specially-crafted SMIL file which would cause HelixPlayer to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code when opened. (CVE-2009-4257) A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way HelixPlayer handled the Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) SET_PARAMETER directive. A malicious RTSP server could use this flaw to crash HelixPlayer or, potentially, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2009-4248) Multiple buffer overflow flaws were discovered in the way HelixPlayer handled RuleBook structures in media files and RTSP streams. Specially-crafted input could cause HelixPlayer to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2009-4247, CVE-2010-0417) A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way HelixPlayer performed URL un-escaping. A specially-crafted URL string could cause HelixPlayer to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2010-0416) All HelixPlayer users are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which contains backported patches to resolve these issues. All running instances of HelixPlayer must be restarted for this update to take effect. 4.
