Xine v0.99.2 remote stack overflow exploit. A overflow in all versions of xine-lib allow the vcd:// input source to execute arbitrary code, even if the file is .mp3, .mpeg, .mpg or .avi media. Fix available (currently only in the cvs xine-lib) here.

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
<asx version = "3.0">

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.
