|
|
CVE Reference:
CAN-2004-0982
(Links to External Site)
|
Date: Nov 1 2004
|
Impact:
Execution of arbitrary code via network, User access via network
|
Fix Available: Yes Vendor Confirmed: Yes
|
Version(s): 0.59r, pre0.59s
|
Description:
A buffer overflow vulnerability was reported in mpg123 in getauthformURL(). A remote user may be able to execute arbitrary code on the target user's system.
Carlos Barros reported that getauthfromURL() contains an overflow in the processing of the 'httpauth1' variable. A remote user can create a specially crafted playlist that, when processed by the target user, may execute arbitrary code on the target user's system.
A demonstration exploit URL format is provided:
http://AAAAAAAAAAAAAA...AAAAA@www.somesite.com/somefile.xxx,
It is reported that the http_open() function also contains a buffer overflow that allows a local user to execute arbitrary code.
The vendor was notified on October 10, 2004, without response.
|
Impact:
A remote user may be able to execute arbitrary code on the target user's system with the privileges of the target user.
|
Solution:
Debian has released a fix for the stable distribution (woody) in version 0.59r-13woody4 and for the unstable distribution (sid) in version 0.59r-17.

Package : mpg123
Vulnerability : buffer overflow
Problem-Type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CAN-2004-0982
Carlos Barros has discovered a buffer overflow in the HTTP
authentication routine of mpg123, a popular (but non-free) MPEG layer
1/2/3 audio player. If a user opened a malicious playlist or URL, an
attacker might execute arbitrary code with the rights of the calling
user.
For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 0.59r-13woody4.
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 0.59r-17.
We recommend that you upgrade your mpg123 package.
