Package : helix-player
Vulnerability : buffer overflow
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CVE-2005-2629
BugTraq ID : 15381
An integer overflow has been discovered in helix-player, the helix
audio and video player. This flaw could allow a remote attacker to
run arbitrary code on a victims computer by supplying a specially
crafted network resource.
This vulnerability is fixed by version 1.0.6-1 in unstable.
Helix-player is not currently in the testing distribution.
The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain a helix-player
package.
For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in
version 1.0.4-1sarge2.
For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
version 1.0.6-1.
We recommend that you upgrade your helix-player package.
