Descriptions

The real_parse_headers function in demux_real.c in xine-lib 1.1.12, and other 1.1.15 and earlier versions, relies on an untrusted input length value to "reindex into an allocated buffer," which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted value, probably an array index error.

La función real_parse_headers en demux_real.c en xine-lib 1.1.12, y otras v1.1.15 y versiones anteriores, confía en un valor de longitud de entrada no confiable a "reindexar en un búfer asignado", lo que permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (caída) mediante un valor manipulado, probablemente un error de índice de array.

Failure on Ogg files manipulation can lead remote attackers to cause a denial of service by using crafted files. Failure on manipulation of either MNG or Real or MOD files can lead remote attackers to cause a denial of service by using crafted files. Heap-based overflow allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by using Quicktime media files holding crafted metadata. Heap-based overflow allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by using either crafted Matroska or Real media files. Failure on manipulation of either MNG or Quicktime files can lead remote attackers to cause a denial of service by using crafted files. Multiple heap-based overflow on input plugins (http, net, smb, dvd, dvb, rtsp, rtp, pvr, pnm, file, gnome_vfs, mms) allow attackers to execute arbitrary code by handling that input channels. Various other issues have also been addressed. Packages for 2008.0 are being provided due to extended support for Corporate products. This update fixes these issues.
