Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in xine up to 1.1.11.1 (Multimedia Player Software). This affects the function open_ra_file of the file demux_matroska.c. 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:

Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in xine-lib 1.1.12, and other 1.1.15 and earlier versions, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors related to (1) a crafted EBML element length processed by the parse_block_group function in demux_matroska.c; (2) a certain combination of sps, w, and h values processed by the real_parse_audio_specific_data and demux_real_send_chunk functions in demux_real.c; and (3) an unspecified combination of three values processed by the open_ra_file function in demux_realaudio.c. NOTE: vector 2 reportedly exists because of an incomplete fix in 1.1.15.

The bug was discovered 08/22/2008. The weakness was released 08/22/2008 by Will Drewry with CERT (Website). The advisory is shared at redhat.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2008-5236 since 11/25/2008. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation.
