Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in MPlayer 1.0 Rc1 (Multimedia Player Software). This affects the function dmo_videodecoder_open. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

The DMO_VideoDecoder_Open function in loader/dmo/DMO_VideoDecoder.c in MPlayer 1.0rc1 and earlier, as used in xine-lib, does not set the biSize before use in a memcpy, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a buffer overflow and possibly execute arbitrary code, a different vulnerability than CVE-2007-1387.

The bug was discovered 03/01/2007. The weakness was shared 03/03/2007 by Moritz Jodeit (Website). It is possible to read the advisory at securityfocus.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2007-1246 since 03/03/2007. The exploitability is told to be difficult. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Technical details of the vulnerability are known, but there is no available exploit.

It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 2 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $0-$5k. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 29601 (SuSE 10 Security Update : xine-lib (ZYPP Patch Number 2988)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family SuSE Local Security Checks and running in the context l.

Applying a patch is able to eliminate this problem. A possible mitigation has been published 3 weeks after the disclosure of the vulnerability.
