Mplayer Multiple Arbitrary Execution Vulnerabilities
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
"MPlayer is a movie player which runs on many systems (see the
documentation). It plays most MPEG/VOB, AVI, Ogg/OGM, VIVO, ASF/WMA/WMV,
QT/MOV/MP4, RealMedia, Matroska, NUT, NuppelVideo, FLI, YUV4MPEG, FILM,
RoQ, PVA files, supported by many native, XAnim, and Win32 DLL codecs. You
can watch VideoCD, SVCD, DVD, 3ivx, DivX 3/4/5 and even WMV movies.." Two
vulnerabilities have been discovered in MPlayer which allow attackers to
cause it to crash by tricking MPlayer into accessing a malformed IPv6
addresses or by responding to it with an arbitrary long CDDB entry.
DETAILS
Vulnerable Systems:
* MPlayer 1.0rc2 and SVN before r25824
Immune Systems:
* MPlayer 1.0rc2 and SVN after Sun Jan 20 20:43:46 2008 UTC
URL IPv6 Address Parsing Remote Heap Overflow:
A heap overflow condition exists in the parsing of IPv6 addresses,
allowing for arbitrary code execution.
CDDB Remote Stack Overflow:
A remote attacker may execute arbitrary code on a client machine by
causing a specially crafted CDDB response to be sent to the client.
