Full Text Bug Listing

Secunia Research has discovered some vulnerabilities in MPlayer, which can be
exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

1) A boundary error within the "cddb_query_parse()" function in
stream/stream_cddb.c when parsing album titles can be exploited to cause a
stack-based buffer overflow by tricking a user into parsing malicious CDDB
entries via overly long album titles.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

2) Boundary errors within the "cddb_parse_matches_list()" and
"cddb_read_parse()" functions in stream/stream_cddb.c when parsing album and
category titles can be exploited to cause stack-based buffer overflows by
tricking a user into parsing malicious CDDB entries via overly long album or
category titles.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code, but may require
that the user connects to a malicious server.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 1.0rc1. Other versions may also be
affected.

ppc64 stable

Marked stable for HPPA:
 media-libs/amrnb-6.1.0.3
 media-libs/amrwb-7.0.0.0
 media-video/mplayer-1.0.20070622

amd64 done, thanks Simon

Marked this bug as blocked by 183013 - mplayer fails compile.

alpha/ia64 stable

x86 stable

20070622 sparc stable.
Was -r1 intended to go stable? Because x86 did it.

Minor changes, either one should be fine.  I marked -r1 stable on amd64.

ppc stable

arches please test and mark stable target keywords are:
media-video/mplayer-1.0.20070622-r1:KEYWORDS=alpha amd64 hppa ia64 ppc ppc64

Lars: why? As steve said -r1 isn't related to this security bug so you
shouldn't have called for stabling here and just adds up to confusion...

(In reply to comment #16)
> Lars: why?

+1

alpha/ia64 stable

ppc64 stable

this bug is ready for glsa decision

B2 always implies a GLSA.

GLSA 200707-07, thanks everybody
