Synopsis
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

Multiple vulnerabilities in FFmpeg may lead to the remote execution of
arbitrary code or a Denial of Service.

Background
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

FFmpeg is a complete solution to record, convert and stream audio and
video. gst-plugins-ffmpeg is a FFmpeg based gstreamer plugin which
includes a vulnerable copy of FFmpeg code. Mplayer is a multimedia
player which also includes a vulnerable copy of the code.

Affected packages

Description
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

Multiple vulnerabilities were found in FFmpeg:

* astrange reported a stack-based buffer overflow in the
  str_read_packet() in libavformat/psxstr.c when processing .str files
  (CVE-2008-3162).

* Multiple buffer overflows in libavformat/utils.c (CVE-2008-4866).

* A buffer overflow in libavcodec/dca.c (CVE-2008-4867).

* An unspecified vulnerability in the avcodec_close() function in
  libavcodec/utils.c (CVE-2008-4868).

* Unspecified memory leaks (CVE-2008-4869).

* Tobias Klein repoerted a NULL pointer dereference due to an integer
  signedness error in the fourxm_read_header() function in
  libavformat/4xm.c (CVE-2009-0385).

Impact
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted media
file, possibly leading to the execution of arbitrary code with the
privileges of the user running the application, or a Denial of Service.

Workaround
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

All FFmpeg users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose >=3Dmedia-video/ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20090201=
"

All gst-plugins-ffmpeg users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose
>=3Dmedia-plugins/gst-plugins-ffmpeg-0.10.5"

All Mplayer users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose >=3Dmedia-video/mplayer-1.0_rc2_p28450=
"
