Category: | Ubuntu Local Security Checks |
Title: | Ubuntu: Security Advisory (USN-746-1) |
Summary: | The remote host is missing an update for the 'xine-lib' package(s) announced via the USN-746-1 advisory. |
Description: | Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'xine-lib' package(s) announced via the USN-746-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: It was discovered that the 4xm demuxer in xine-lib did not correctly handle a large current_track value in a 4xm file, resulting in an integer overflow. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted 4xm movie file, an attacker could crash xine-lib or possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program. (CVE-2009-0698) USN-710-1 provided updated xine-lib packages to fix multiple security vulnerabilities. The security patch to fix CVE-2008-5239 introduced a regression causing some media files to be unplayable. This update corrects the problem. We apologize for the inconvenience. Original advisory details: It was discovered that the input handlers in xine-lib did not correctly handle certain error codes, resulting in out-of-bounds reads and heap- based buffer overflows. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted file, stream, or URL, an attacker could execute arbitrary code as the user invoking the program. (CVE-2008-5239) Affected Software/OS: 'xine-lib' package(s) on Ubuntu 6.06, Ubuntu 7.10, Ubuntu 8.04, Ubuntu 8.10. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 7.5 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P |
