X MultiMedia System (xmms) skin bitmap image code execution
| xmms-skinbitmap-code-execution (33205) |  High Risk |
Description:
X MultiMedia System (xmms) could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on a system, caused by an integer overflow. By creating a specially-crafted skin bitmap image file with a malicious header, an attacker could corrupt system memory and execute arbitrary code on the system, if the attacker could persuade the victim to view the malicious image file.
Platforms Affected:
- 4Front Tech, XMMS 1.2.10
- Canonical, Ubuntu 5.10
- Canonical, Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
- Canonical, Ubuntu 6.10
- Debian, Debian Linux 3.1
- MandrakeSoft, Mandrake Linux Corporate Server 3.0
- MandrakeSoft, Mandrake Linux Corporate Server 3.0 X86_64
