tag_insight = "Luigi Auriemma, Alin Rad Pop, Rémi Denis-Courmont, Quovodis, Guido
Landi, Felipe Manzano, Anibal Sacco and others discovered multiple
vulnerabilities in vlc, an application for playback and streaming of
audio and video. In the worst case, these weaknesses permit a remote,
unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges
of the user running vlc.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the
following eight problems:
CVE-2007-6681
A buffer overflow vulnerability in subtitle handling allows an
attacker to execute arbitrary code through the opening of a
maliciously crafted MicroDVD, SSA or Vplayer file.
CVE-2007-6682
A format string vulnerability in the HTTP-based remote control
facility of the vlc application allows a remote, unauthenticated
attacker to execute arbitrary code.
CVE-2007-6683
Insecure argument validation allows a remote attacker to overwrite
arbitrary files writable by the user running vlc, if a maliciously
crafted M3U playlist or MP3 audio file is opened.
CVE-2008-0295, CVE-2008-0296
Heap buffer overflows in RTSP stream and session description
protocol (SDP) handling allow an attacker to execute arbitrary
code if a maliciously-crafted RTSP stream is played.
CVE-2008-0073
Insufficient integer bounds checking in SDP handling allows the
execution of arbitrary code through a maliciously crafted SDP
stream ID parameter in an RTSP stream.
CVE-2008-0984
Insufficient integrity checking in the MP4 demuxer allows a remote
attacker to overwrite arbitrary memory and execute arbitrary code
if a maliciously-crafted MP4 file is opened.
CVE-2008-1489
An integer overflow vulnerability in MP4 handling allows a remote
attacker to cause a heap buffer overflow, inducing a crash and
possibly the execution of arbitrary code if a maliciously-crafted
MP4 file is opened.
For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in
version 0.8.6-svn20061012.debian-5.1+etch2.
For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
version 0.6.8.e-2.
We recommend that you upgrade your vlc packages.";
