>> xine-lib Multiple Code Execution and Denial of Service Vulnerabilities
|
|
Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in xine-lib, which could be exploited by attackers to cause a denial of service or compromise a vulnerable system.
The first issue is caused by errors in the "demux_ogg_send_chunk()" and "send_header()" [src/demuxers/demux_ogg.c] functions when processing malformed Ogg files, which could be exploited by attackers to crash an affected application.
The second vulnerability is caused by a buffer overflow error in the "open_video_capture_device()" [src/input/input_v4l.c] function when processing a malformed V4L video, which could be exploited to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.
The third vulnerability is caused by heap overflow errors in the "id3v22_interp_frame()", "id3v23_interp_frame()" and "id3v24_interp_frame()" [src/demuxers/id3.c] functions when processing ID3 data, which could be exploited by attackers to execute arbitrary code.
The fourth issue is caused by a buffer overflow error in the "demux_real_send_chunk()" [src/demuxers/demux_real.c] function when processing a malformed Real file, which could be exploited to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.
