Ubuntu Security Notice 635-1 - Many xine-lib arbitrary code execution vulnerabilities have been addressed in Ubuntu.
99d390c6edf6c39134bcdba1921abab340fd7b8da4de5350fcc4a3b2f854f9bfMandriva Linux Security Advisory - A vulnerability in the Speex library was found where it did not properly validate input values read from the Speex files headers. An attacker could create a malicious Speex file that would crash an application or potentially allow the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the application calling the Speex library. Xine-lib is similarly affected by this issue. As well, the previous version of xine as provided in Mandriva Linux 2008.1 would crash when playing matroska files, and a regression was introduced that prevented Amarok from playing m4a files.
b9114596a257e540de4ed397de2c1f36b64ef52b63ecd564ab390dd4848ec7e5Debian Security Advisory 1586-1 - Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in xine-lib, a library which supplies most of the application functionality of the xine multimedia player. Integer overflow vulnerabilities exist in xine's FLV, QuickTime, RealMedia, MVE and CAK demuxers, as well as the EBML parser used by the Matroska demuxer. Insufficient input validation in the Speex implementation used by this version of xine enables an invalid array access and the execution of arbitrary code by supplying a maliciously crafted Speex file. Inadequate bounds checking in the NES Sound Format (NSF) demuxer enables a stack buffer overflow and the execution of arbitrary code through a maliciously crafted NSF file.

This could allow a malicious file to execute arbitrary code.

This could allow malicious files to execute arbitrary code.
87491f9f366dac141525b69c9cb64ea9a5018739043844747a58d03549743c13Ubuntu Security Notice 611-3 - USN-611-1 fixed a vulnerability in Speex. This update provides the corresponding update for GStreamer Good Plugins. It was discovered that Speex did not properly validate its input when processing Speex file headers. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted Speex file, an attacker could create a denial of service in applications linked against Speex or possibly execute arbitrary code as the user invoking the program.

This update provides the corresponding update for ogg123, part of vorbis-tools. It was discovered that Speex did not properly validate its input when processing Speex file headers. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted Speex file, an attacker could create a denial of service in applications linked against Speex or possibly execute arbitrary code as the user invoking the program.

The speex plugin in the gstreamer-plugins-good package is similarly affected by this issue.
73c300ea693d216edb4dd469cd8eac28a21794f9c483d8d4c464cb2430a64dfaGentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 200804-17 - oCERT reported that the Speex library does not properly validate the mode value it derives from Speex streams, allowing for array indexing vulnerabilities inside multiple player applications. Within Gentoo, xine-lib, VLC, gst-plugins-speex from the GStreamer Good Plug-ins, vorbis-tools, libfishsound, Sweep, SDL_sound, and speexdec were found to be vulnerable. Versions less than 1.2_beta3_p2 are affected.
40dc72bc975ce1432c39e162fd5ef2105bf1d27d85664d3aa0682db3d3842552The reference speex decoder from the Speex library performs insufficient boundary checks on a header structure read from user input, this has been reported in oCERT-2008-002 advisory. Further investigation showed that several packages include similar code and are therefore vulnerable.
