SP/DIF???
by Torinthiel 01 May '04

01 May '04

Are you sure SP/DIF is the correct spelling? Search on www.sony.com on SP-DIF, SP/DIF, S-PDIF got no hits, a few on S/PDIF and many on SPDIF. Also http://whatis.techtarget.com/definition/0,,sid9_gci213474_top1,00.html says it's Sony/Philips Digital Interface which definitely goes for S/PDIF. Which one is correct?

This is a + joint advisory by the MPlayer and xine teams as the code in question is + common to these projects. The xine team has assigned ID XSA-2004-3 to this + security announcement. + + + Severity: + + High (arbitrary remote code execution under the user ID running the player) + when playing Real RTSP streams. + At this time, there is no known exploit for these vulnerabilities. + + + Prerequisites: + + The players are only vulnerable when playing Real RTSP streams. + There is no risk if Real RTSP (realrtsp) streaming is not employed. + + + Solution: + + A fix was checked into MPlayer CVS on Sat, 24 Apr 2004 12:33:22 +0200 (CEST). + This fix is included in MPlayer 1.0pre4. Users of affected MPlayer versions + should upgrade to MPlayer 1.0pre4 or later. + + xine-lib fix was checked into CVS on Fri, Apr 23 21:59:04 2004 UTC. This fix + is included in xine-lib 1-rc4. Users of affected xine-lib versions should + upgrade to xine-lib 1-rc4 or later. + If this upgrade is not feasible for some reason, the vulnerable code + can be disabled by removing xine's RTSP input plugin, which is located at + $(xine-config --plugindir)/xineplug_inp_rtsp.so). If installed with default + paths, that is: /usr/local/lib/xine/plugins/1.0.0/xineplug_inp_rtsp.so + This workaround disables RTSP streaming. + + + Affected versions: + + MPlayer 1.0pre1-pre3try2 + + xine-lib 1-beta1 to 1-rc3c + + + Unaffected versions: + + MPlayer 0.92.1 and below + + MPlayer 1.0pre4 and above + + MPlayer CVS HEAD + + + xine-lib 1-beta0 and below + + xine-lib 1-rc4 and above + + xine-lib CVS HEAD + + + History / Attack Vectors: + + On Thu, 22 Apr 2004 Diego Biurrun found a crashing bug in the MPlayer + realrtsp code that Roberto Togni confirmed to be a buffer overflow + vulnerability later that day. The xine team was notified and independent + code audits were performed by Miguel Freitas (xine) and Roberto Togni + (MPlayer), revealing multiple vulnerabilities. + <ol> + <li>Fixed length buffers were assigned for the URL used in server requests + and the length of the input was never checked. Very long URLs could thus + overflow these buffers and crash the application. A malicious person + might possibly use a specially crafted URL or playlist to run arbitrary + code on the user's machine.</li> + <li>Not all strings returned from a Real server were checked for length. + It might be possible to cause a buffer overflow during the RTSP session + negotiation sequence. A malicious person could use a fake RTSP server + to feed the client with malformed strings.</li> + <li>Packets of RealNetworks' Real Data Transport (RDT) format were received + using a fixed length buffer whose size was never checked. It might also be + possible to exploit this by emulating a RealNetworks' RTSP server.</li> + <li>On Wed, 14 Apr 2004 22:45:28 +0200 (CEST) a change was made to MPlayer + CVS that removes the extension checking on RTSP streams. MPlayer now + attempts to handle every RTSP connection as realrtsp first, falling back + to live.com RTSP. CVS versions from that date to the time the fix was + checked in are susceptible to the same problem when playing normal RTSP + streams as well.</li> + <li>At the time of the writing of this advisory no real exploits are known + to the authors and we hope to be the first to stumble across this + vulnerability.
