MPlayer Media Player
http://www.mplayerhq.hu
MPlayer is a movie player for Linux (runs on many other Unices, and non-x86
CPUs, see Ports). It plays most
MPEG, VOB, AVI, OGG/OGM, VIVO, ASF/WMA/WMV, QT/MOV/MP4, FLI, RM, NuppelVideo,
yuv4mpeg, FILM, RoQ, PVA,
Matroska files, supported by many native, XAnim, RealPlayer, and Win32 DLL
codecs. You can watch VideoCD,
SVCD, DVD, 3ivx, RealMedia, Sorenson, Theora, and DivX movies too.
All versions of MPlayer, including the latest [MPlayer-1.0pre4] when compiled
with GUI support are vulnerable
to a buffer overflow attack that will provide hostile code execution.
The MPlayer source requires explicit setting to enable the GUI, though
support is enabled on a multitude of
default systems / setups, those I tested are below:
Tested OS:
Redhat Linux with Gnome
FreeBSD and latest cvsup + ports with Gnome
./MPlayer-1.0pre4/Gui/mplayer/common.c
inline void TranslateFilename( int c,char * tmp )
...
... snip
...
case STREAMTYPE_FILE:
if ( ( guiIntfStruct.Filename )&&( guiIntfStruct.Filename[0] ) )
{
if ( strrchr( guiIntfStruct.Filename,'/' ) ) strcpy( tmp,strrchr(
guiIntfStruct.Filename,'/' ) + 1);
else strcpy( tmp,guiIntfStruct.Filename);
if ( tmp[strlen( tmp ) - 4] == '.' ) tmp[strlen( tmp ) - 4]=0;
if ( tmp[strlen( tmp ) - 5] == '.' ) tmp[strlen( tmp ) - 5]=0;
} else strcpy( tmp,MSGTR_NoFileLoaded );
POC fix purposes only.

Attack choices:
1. Create my own fake HTTP listener and inject the phoney name.
(Static)(POC)
2. Build my own MPEG / MP3 or other static media file and
header information. (Mobile)
3. Create a media file that references another file by name.
(Mobile)
Found in network.c is the following table of demux types:
extensions_table[] = {
{ "mpeg",DEMUXER_TYPE_MPEG_PS },
{ "mpg", DEMUXER_TYPE_MPEG_PS },
{ "mpe", DEMUXER_TYPE_MPEG_ES },
{ "avi", DEMUXER_TYPE_AVI },
{ "mov", DEMUXER_TYPE_MOV },
{ "qt", DEMUXER_TYPE_MOV },
{ "asx", DEMUXER_TYPE_ASF },
{ "asf", DEMUXER_TYPE_ASF },
{ "wmv", DEMUXER_TYPE_ASF },
{ "wma", DEMUXER_TYPE_ASF },
{ "viv", DEMUXER_TYPE_VIVO },
{ "rm", DEMUXER_TYPE_REAL },
{ "ra", DEMUXER_TYPE_REAL },
{ "y4m", DEMUXER_TYPE_Y4M },
{ "mp3", DEMUXER_TYPE_AUDIO },
{ "ogg", DEMUXER_TYPE_OGG },
{ "wav", DEMUXER_TYPE_AUDIO },
{ "pls", DEMUXER_TYPE_PLAYLIST },
{ "m3u", DEMUXER_TYPE_PLAYLIST }
};
of which m3u & pls playlists were used. MPlayer does not restrict the length
of links for M3U playlist entries,
which is a nice feature. - .pls in the end turned out to be useless for me
though. I have not checked the other
muxors, maybe with tricks like creating a large ID3 itag for mpg and the
likes will be interesting...

In my .m3u file, I embed 4 entries, the first three please the user with
selected fine music from the Open-Security
MP3 archive, the 4th will crash MPlayer by placing the address 0x41414141 in
EIP.
Edit ./mplayer.c in vi and comment out the line:
signal(SIGSEGV,exit_sighandler); // segfault
