Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : kernel (MDKSA-2006:086)

A number of vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in the Linux 2.6 kernel : Prior to Linux kernel 2.6.16.5, the kernel does not properly handle uncanonical return addresses on Intel EM64T CPUs which causes the kernel exception handler to run on the user stack with the wrong GS...

mplayer -- Multiple integer overflows

Secunia reports: The vulnerabilities are caused due to integer overflow errors in "libmpdemux/asfheader.c" within the handling of an ASF file, and in "libmpdemux/aviheader.c" when parsing the "indx" chunk in an AVI file. This can be exploited to cause heap-based buffer overflows via a malicious A...

CVE-2004-1188

The pnmgetchunk function in xine 0.99.2 and earlier, and other packages such as MPlayer that use the same code, does not properly verify that the chunk size is less than the PREAMBLESIZE, which causes a read operation with a negative length that leads to a buffer overflow via 1 RMFTAG, 2 DATATAG,...

CVE-2004-1188

The CVE-2004-1188 issue is in xine (and frontends like MPlayer) where the pnm_get_chunk function does not verify that the input chunk size is less than PREAMBLE_SIZE. This can cause a read with a negative length, leading to a buffer overflow via tags such as RMF_TAG, DATA_TAG, PROP_TAG, MDPR_TAG,...
