Description Lubomir Kundrak 2008-03-24 10:31:25 UTC
Multiple buffer overflow flaws were discovered in xine-lib.

The vulnerabilities are caused due to integer overflow errors when
allocating memory in src/demuxers/demux_flv.c,
src/demuxers/demux_qt.c, src/demuxers/demux_real.c,
src/demuxers/demux_wc3movie.c, src/demuxers/ebml.c, and
src/demuxers/demux_film.c. These can be exploited to cause heap-based
buffer overflows via overly large fields included in e.g. FLV, MOV,
RM, MVE, MKV, and CAK files.

See original advisory for details:

Gentoo:

FWIW, they should _all_ be fixed in 1.2 series, I suppose backporting the
relevant changes, if possible, would solve the issue. 1.2 makes good use of
calloc rather than using malloc directly.

but once again I could not convince Bodhi to do that.
