Xine » Xine-lib : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In 2005 (Overflow)

Buffer overflow in the open_aiff_file function in demux_aiff.c for xine-lib (libxine) 1-rc7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted AIFF file.

The pnm_get_chunk function in xine 0.99.2 and earlier, and other packages such as MPlayer that use the same code, does not properly verify that the chunk size is less than the PREAMBLE_SIZE, which causes a read operation with a negative length that leads to a buffer overflow via (1) RMF_TAG, (2) DATA_TAG, (3) PROP_TAG, (4) MDPR_TAG, and (5) CONT_TAG values, a different vulnerability than CVE-2004-1187.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the pnm_get_chunk function for xine 0.99.2, and other packages such as MPlayer that use the same code, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via long PNA_TAG values, a different vulnerability than CVE-2004-1188.
