The xine package is susceptible to a remote format-string vulnerability.
|
|
|
|
This issue arises when the application handles specially crafted filenames. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by crafting a malicious filename that contains format specifiers and then coercing unsuspecting users to try to execute the affected application with the malicious filename as an argument.
|
|
|
|
A successful attack may crash the application or lead to arbitrary code execution.
|
|
|
|
Version 0.99.4 of xine is vulnerable to this issue; other versions may also be affected.
|
|
|
|
The following command is sufficient to demonstrate this issue:
|
|
xine %p-%p.mp3
|
|
|
|
This will result in a file-not-found dialog being displayed. The dialog will report that the file that was not found has a name similar to '0x811ac8e-0xbe1fdabc.mp3' |
