Full Text Bug Listing

Description:

The MPlayer multimedia player suffers from a vulnerability which could result
in arbitrary code execution and at the least, in unexpected process
termination.

Three integer underflows located in the Real demuxer code can be used to
exploit a heap overflow, a specific video file can be crafted in order to make
the stream_read function reading or writing arbitrary amounts of memory.

The following patch fixes the issues:
http://www.ocert.org/patches/2008-013/mplayer_demux_real.patch

apparently this is fixed in r27675, mplayer/trunk/libmpdemux/demux_real.c

Created an attachment (id=166868) [details]
The patch was released..

This was from the Maintainers

Can we get either stable an mplayer that has this and bug 231836 fixed, or
apply the two patches onto our current stable?

mplayer-1.0_rc2_p27725 in the tree

I see that mplayer-1.0_rc2_p27725-r1 is in the tree, does
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=241110 still need to be fixed? I'd like
to get this thing into stable.

Arches, please test and mark stable:
  =media-video/mplayer-1.0_rc2_p27725-r1

Target keywords: "alpha amd64 hppa ia64 ppc ppc64 sparc x86"
Arches which don't even have ~arch: "alpha ia64 ppc sparc"

Apparently, there are still problems w/ sparc and alpha (according to the bug
in the dependencies), can you fix them beandog (or anyone from media-video)?

this needs the following packages stable on amd64/x86 (according to repoman):
'>=media-video/dirac-0.10.0', 'media-libs/schroedinger',
'>=media-libs/x264-0.0.20080406'

these should be ok

> '>=media-libs/x264-0.0.20080406'
please check stable packages from:
http://tinderbox.dev.gentoo.org/misc/rindex/media-libs/x264
against 0.0.20080819
This snapshot had been slatted just before an API change; I don't remember any
specific breakage with that version, but better double check.
Note that you'll need to stabilize x264-encoder of the same version at the same
time.
0.0.20081006 changes a bit the API and will break a couple of stable packages.

amd64/x86 stable for the following packages:
=media-video/dirac-1.0.0
=media-libs/schroedinger-1.0.5
=media-libs/x264-0.0.20080819
=media-video/x264-encoder-0.0.20080819
=media-video/mplayer-1.0_rc2_p27725-r1

hppa stable

ppc64 stable

ppc stable

Stable on alpha. Had to mask the dxr3 USE flag due to lack of hardware for
testing.

ia64 stable, sparc is waiting for bug 241110

Sparc stable, sorry for the hold-up :(

request filed

GLSA 200901-07. Thanks everyone, sorry about the delay.
