The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the "sdpplin_parse()" function in input/libreal/sdpplin.c. This can be exploited to overwrite arbitrary memory regions via an overly large "streamid" SDP parameter included in a malicious RTSP stream. Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code. The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.1.10.1. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Do not open untrusted RTSP streams. A patch or updated version should be available shortly. PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY: Alin Rad Pop, Secunia Research.
