+ <p>Luigi Auriemma reports three vulnerabilities within
+ alsaplayer:</p>
+ <blockquote cite="http://aluigi.altervista.org/adv/alsapbof-adv.txt">
+ <ul>
+ <li>The function which handles the HTTP connections is
+ vulnerable to a buffer-overflow that happens when it uses
+ sscanf for copying the URL in the Location's field
+ received from the server into the redirect buffer of only
+ 1024 bytes declared in http_open.</li>
+ <li>A buffer-overflow exists in the functions which add items
+ to the playlist when the GTK interface is used (so the other
+ interfaces are not affected by this problem): new_list_item
+ and CbUpdated in interface/gtk/PlaylistWindow.cpp.</li>
+ <li>AlsaPlayer automatically queries the CDDB server
+ specified in its configuration (by default
+ freedb.freedb.org) when the user choices the CDDA function
+ for playing audio CDs. The function which queries the
+ server uses a buffer of 20 bytes and one of 9 for storing
+ the category and ID strings received from the server while
+ the buffer which contains this server's response is 32768
+ bytes long. Naturally for exploiting this bug the attacker
+ must have control of the freedb server specified in the
+ AlsaPlayer's configuration.</li>
+ </ul>
+ </blockquote>
+ <p>These vulnerabilities could allow a remote attacker to
+ execute arbitrary code, possibly gaining access to the
+ system.</p>
