Synopsis ========
Multiple vulnerabilities in VLC may lead to the remote execution of arbitrary code.
Background ==========
VLC is a cross-platform media player and streaming server.
Affected packages =================
------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 media-video/vlc < 0.9.8a >=3D 0.9.8a
Description ===========
Tobias Klein reported the following vulnerabilities:
* A stack-based buffer overflow when processing CUE image files in modules/access/vcd/cdrom.c (CVE-2008-5032).
* A stack-based buffer overflow when processing RealText (.rt) subtitle files in the ParseRealText() function in modules/demux/subtitle.c (CVE-2008-5036).
* An integer overflow when processing RealMedia (.rm) files in the ReadRealIndex() function in real.c in the Real demuxer plugin, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2008-5276).
Impact ======
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted CUE image file, RealMedia file or RealText subtitle file, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.
Workaround ==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution ==========
All VLC users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=3Dmedia-video/vlc-0.9.8a"
