+ MPlayer is a movie player capable of handling multiple multimedia file + formats. xine-lib is a multimedia player library used by several graphical + user interfaces, including xine-ui. They both use the same code to handle + Real-Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) streams from RealNetworks servers. +

+
+ +

+ Multiple vulnerabilities have been found and fixed in the RTSP handling + code common to recent versions of these two packages. These vulnerabilities + include several remotely exploitable buffer overflows. +

+
+ +

+ A remote attacker, posing as a RTSP stream server, can execute arbitrary + code with the rights of the user of the software playing the stream + (MPlayer or any player using xine-lib). Another attacker may entice a user + to use a maliciously crafted URL or playlist to achieve the same results. +

+
+ +

+ For MPlayer, there is no known workaround at this time. For xine-lib, you + can delete the xineplug_inp_rtsp.so file. +

+
+ +

+ All users should upgrade to non-vulnerable versions of MPlayer and + xine-lib: +

+ + # emerge sync + + # emerge -pv ">=media-video/mplayer-1.0_pre4" + # emerge ">=media-video/mplayer-1.0_pre4" + + # emerge -pv ">=media-libs/xine-lib-1_rc4" + # emerge ">=media-libs/xine-lib-1_rc4" +
