Favorite Linux Player Buffer Overflow
 

 Product:  Mplayer
 Developers:  http://www.mplayerhq.hu
 OS:    Port to All *NIX and Win32
 Remote Exploitable:  YES

Developers has been contacted, problem was fixed, recomended update your
mplayer version.

 In the source tree there is a file called asf_streaming.c this file has a
function named asf_http_request, that function has two buffer overflows,
this overflows are in the sprintf lines.
 
 
 asf_http_request {
 		char str[250];
 		....
 		...
 		..
 		sprintf( str, "Host: %s:%d", server_url->hostname,
 server_url->port );     
 		....
 		...	
 		..
 		sprintf( str, "Host: %s:%d", url->hostname, url->port );
 
 		....
 		...
 		..
 }

 
  
 This, at a first look, may look as it can´t be exploited ( because the
MAXHOSTLEN size restriction )... but if in an ASX file like this with a
"badsite" listening in "badport" send "\n\n" as answer you could lead to a
fully controllable EIP buffer overflow
