Description c0ntex 2004-08-17 10:24:44 UTC
http://open-security.org/advisories/6

Any info you need please email as I'd love to help out!

You reacted to the Mplayer issue quickly, I think you deal with security issues on par with free/openbsd guys, certainly better than most Linux suppliers I've used. BTW I dont currently use Gentoo, I think I shall have a play.

cheers,
c0ntex

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. compile and run code
2. launch xine against it, using any demuxor name ($ ./xine http://box/a.mp3,mpg,mpeg,avi,pls)
3. watch Xine window - attached POC for non-hardened stacks
Actual Results:  
execve("/bin/sh -c """) on remote client

Expected Results:  
used system calls correctly - complained and returned in a clean manner

The "severity" section below is relative I guess, I will let you guys define
this for your particular OS.

Xine seem uninterested to inform their community about this bug. I gave them 30
days, they ignored me then after tracking them down on irc, they stated they had
another 800 to fix. 

cheers

Great, you'll love how fast this goes then :P.

Already marked stable, already drafted the announcement, might even
release it today.
