   Xine - A free video player
   http://xinehq.de

   "xine is a free multimedia player. It plays back CDs, DVDs, and VCDs. It 
also decodes multimedia files like AVI, MOV, WMV, and MP3 from
   local disk drives, and displays multimedia streamed over the Internet. It 
interprets many of the most common multimedia formats available
   - and some of the most uncommon formats, too."

   Part 2 in the Media Mayhem saga, a name that was decided as being aptly 
fitting for the "Media Player" security audit project that the Open
   Security Group website started at the end of May. This project continues 
finding remote exploits in popular media players for Windows and
   Linux / UNIX derived systems.

   Like the excellent Mplayer, Xine is a superb free media player for Linux. 
Sadly there is a generic stack based buffer overflow in all versions
   of Xine-lib, including Xine-lib-rc5 that allows for local and remote 
malicious code execution.

   By overflowing the vcd:// input source identifier buffer, it is possible to 
modify the instruction pointer with a value that a malicious attacker
   can control. The issue can be replicated in a remote context by embedding 
the input source idientifier within a playlist file, such as an asx.
   When a user plays the file, this stack overflow will occur, exploit code can 
then be executed with the rights of the user running Xine.

   The problem slightly increases due to a usability feature. It does not have 
to be an asx extension for exploitation to succeed as Xine will try
   to be clever and play any media type found, providing it's valid. This still 
means the attack vector MUST include the .asx input identifier but
   it means you can not even trust URL's for .mp3, .mpeg, .mpg or .avi media. 
As long as Xine finds a valid media header, it's happy to change
   the demuxer reference and play the found media. In this case it's a playlist 
file, ".asx",  though others should work.

   Any of the following demuxors will work when running against the attached 
POC server:

           xine --no-splash http://sunscreen/opensecurity.asx
           xine --no-splash http://sunscreen/opensecurity.mp3
           xine --no-splash http://sunscreen/opensecurity.mpg
           xine --no-splash http://sunscreen/opensecurity.mpeg
           xine --no-splash http://sunscreen/opensecurity.wma
           xine --no-splash http://sunscreen/opensecurity.avi
           xine --no-splash http://sunscreen/blah.blah
           xine --no-splash http://sunscreen/

   There are some tricks that may have to be pulled to allow for successful 
code execution to work, primarily due to some memory corruption
   that happens and opcode destruction. However it is easily defeated by either 
jmp'ing over the corrupt few bytes or by placing the shellcode
   into the buffer at some known good location.

   An example malicious .asx file:

   sunscreen$ cat open-security.asx

   Due to the many vulnerabilities being discovered in media players it is 
advised not to play any form of music without first verifying its
   integrity. It would be worth noting that P2P networks that are currently 
sharing music, videos and films tend to be illegal media and as
   such void any integrity anyway, I advise highly to stay clear from IRC and 
P2P warez.
