Summaryinfo

A vulnerability marked as problematic has been reported in GNU MPlayer 1.0 Rc1. This vulnerability affects unknown code of the component CDDB Parser. Performing a manipulation results in stack-based overflow. This vulnerability is known as CVE-2007-2948. No exploit is available. It is preferable to disable the affected component.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in GNU MPlayer 1.0 Rc1 (Multimedia Player Software). This affects an unknown code of the component CDDB Parser. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a stack-based overflow vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-121. A stack-based buffer overflow condition is a condition where the buffer being overwritten is allocated on the stack (i.e., is a local variable or, rarely, a parameter to a function). This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in stream/stream_cddb.c in MPlayer before 1.0rc1try3 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a CDDB entry with a long (1) album title or (2) category.

The bug was discovered 06/06/2007. The weakness was published 06/06/2007 by Stefan Cornelius with Secunia Research (Website). The advisory is shared at svn.mplayerhq.hu. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2007-2948 since 05/31/2007. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Neither technical details nor an exploit are publicly available.

It is declared as proof-of-concept. We expect the 0-day to have been worth approximately $25k-$100k. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 25451 (FreeBSD : mplayer -- cddb stack overflow (3ac80dd2-14df-11dc-bcfc-0016179b2dd5)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family FreeBSD Local Security Checks and running in the context l.

The best possible mitigation is suggested to be disabling the affected component. A possible mitigation has been published 2 weeks after the disclosure of the vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (34749), Tenable (25451), SecurityFocus (BID 24339†), OSVDB (36991†) and Secunia (SA26207†). Similar entries are available at VDB-3599, VDB-3598, VDB-3596 and VDB-40882. Several companies clearly confirm that VulDB is the primary source for best vulnerability data.
