| Description: | Description:
The remote host is missing an update to xine-lib
announced via advisory MDVSA-2008:178.
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
(CVE-2008-0073).
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
(CVE-2008-1110).
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 (CVE-2008-1161).
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 (CVE-2008-1482).
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
(CVE-2008-1878).
The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
Affected: 2008.0
Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
