Title: AlsaPlayer Vorbis Input Plug-in OGG Processing Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
AlsaPlayer is an open-source media player originally built around the ALSA drivers. It is available for UNIX, Linux, and other UNIX-like operating systems.
AlsaPlayer is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it to an insufficiently sized buffer. The problem occurs in the vorbis input plugin when processing '.OGG' files.
Exploiting this issue allows attackers to execute arbitrary machine code in the context of users running the affected application.
This issue affects versions prior to AlsaPlayer 0.99.80-rc3.
