Tobias Klein reported the following vulnerabilities:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>A
|
|
stack-based buffer overflow when processing CUE image files in
|
|
modules/access/vcd/cdrom.c (CVE-2008-5032).</li>
|
|
<li>A stack-based
|
|
buffer overflow when processing RealText (.rt) subtitle files in the
|
|
ParseRealText() function in modules/demux/subtitle.c
|
|
(CVE-2008-5036).</li>
|
|
<li>An integer overflow when processing RealMedia
|
|
(.rm) files in the ReadRealIndex() function in real.c in the Real
|
|
demuxer plugin, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow
|
|
(CVE-2008-5276).</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</description>
|
|
<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted CUE
|
|
image file, RealMedia file or RealText subtitle file, possibly
|
|
resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the
|
|
user running the application.
|
|
</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-0.9.8a"</code>
