Mandriva: Subject: [Security Announce] [ MDVSA-2008:178 ] xine-lib

LinuxSecurity.com: Alin Rad Pop found an array index vulnerability in the SDP parser of xine-lib. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a malicious RTSP stream, a remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user using the program (CVE-2008-0073).

NAME
libcommputil - communication protocol parser utilities library SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lcommputil [ library... ] #include <sdp.h> DESCRIPTION
The communication protocol parser utilities library is a placeholder for public interfaces that facilitate parsing of various communication protocols. Functions in this library parse the SDP (Session Description Protocol) description, check for syntax conformance, and generate SDP descriptions. SDP (Session Description Protocol), described in RFC 4566, describes multimedia sessions for the purposes of session announcement, session invitation, and other forms of multimedia session initiation. SDP is used to convey session information in Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), Streaming Media (Real Time Streaming Protocol, RTSP), email, and World Wide Web and Multicast Session Announcement. INTERFACES
The shared object libcommputil.so.1 provides the public interfaces defined below. See Intro(3) for additional information on shared object interfaces. sdp_add_attribute sdp_add_bandwidth sdp_add_connection sdp_add_email sdp_add_information sdp_add_key sdp_add_media sdp_add_name sdp_add_origin sdp_add_phone sdp_add_repeat sdp_add_time sdp_add_uri sdp_add_zone sdp_clone_session sdp_delete_attribute sdp_delete_field sdp_delete_media sdp_delete_media_field sdp_find_attribute sdp_find_media sdp_find_media_rtpmap sdp_free_session sdp_new_session sdp_parse sdp_session_to_str FILES
