xine-lib demuxers/demux_asf.c buffer overflow
| xinelib-demuxasf-bo (41019) |  High Risk |
Description:
The xineplug_dmx_asf.so plugin in xine-lib is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking by the demuxers/demux_asf.c (the ASF demuxer). By parsing specially-crafted ASF headers, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system or cause the application to crash.
Platforms Affected:
- Canonical, Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
- Canonical, Ubuntu 7.04
- Canonical, Ubuntu 7.10
- Canonical, Ubuntu 8.04 LTS
- Xine, xine-lib prior to 1.1.10
Remedy:
Apply the appropriate update for your system. See Refereneces.
Consequences:

- CVE-2008-1110: Buffer overflow in demuxers/demux_asf.c (aka the ASF demuxer) in the xineplug_dmx_asf.so plugin in xine-lib before 1.1.10 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted ASF header. NOTE: this issue leads to a crash when an attack uses the CVE-2006-1664 exploit code, but it is different from CVE-2006-1664.
