 Mandriva Linux Security Advisory                         MDVSA-2008:178

 Package : xine-lib
 Date    : August 20, 2008
 Affected: 2008.0

 Problem Description:

 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.
