xine-lib sdpplin_parse() buffer overflow
| xinelib-sdpplinparse-bo (41339) |  High Risk |
Description:
xine-lib is vulnerable to a buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking by the sdpplin_parse() function. By persuading a victim to connect to a specially-crafted RTSP stream using an overly large "streamid" SDP parameter, a remote attacker could overwrite arbitrary memory regions and execute malformed code on the system.

- Canonical, Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
- Canonical, Ubuntu 7.04
- Canonical, Ubuntu 7.10
- Canonical, Ubuntu 8.04 LTS
- Debian, Debian Linux 3.1
- Debian, Debian Linux 4.0
- Gentoo, Linux
