Multiple vulnerabilities were found in VLC:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Luigi Auriemma discovered that the stack-based buffer overflow when
|
|
reading subtitles, which has been reported as CVE-2007-6681 in GLSA
|
|
200803-13, was not properly fixed (CVE-2008-1881).
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Alin Rad Pop of Secunia reported an array indexing vulnerability in the
|
|
sdpplin_parse() function when processing streams from RTSP servers in
|
|
Xine code, which is also used in VLC (CVE-2008-0073).
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Drew Yao and Nico Golde reported an integer overflow in the
|
|
MP4_ReadBox_rdrf() function in the file libmp4.c leading to a
|
|
heap-based buffer overflow when reading MP4 files (CVE-2008-1489).
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Drew Yao also reported integer overflows in the MP4 demuxer,
|
|
the Real demuxer and in the Cinepak codec, which might lead to buffer
|
|
overflows (CVE-2008-1768).</li>
|
|
<li>Drew Yao finally discovered and a
|
|
boundary error in Cinepak, which might lead to memory corruption
|
|
(CVE-2008-1769).</li>
|
|
</ul>

<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted media
|
|
file or stream, possibly resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary
|
|
code.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All VLC users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-video/vlc-0.8.6f"</code>
