Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in MPlayer and xine-lib, potentially allowing malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
1) The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error, which can be triggered by supplying a long URL. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow.
2) The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error, which can be triggered by a malicious RTSP server during session negotiation. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow.
3) The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error, which can be triggered by a malicious RTSP server by sending malicious RDT (Real Data Transport) packets. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow.
Successful exploitation may potentially allow execution of arbitrary code on a user's system but requires that the user is either tricked into connecting to a malicious RTSP server, open a malicious play list, or open a malicious URL.
The following versions have been reported vulnerable:
* MPlayer 1.0pre1 to pre3try2
* xine-lib 1-beta1 to 1-rc3c
