Description: A buffer overflow vulnerability was reported in Kaffeine. A remote user can cause a target user's media player to crash.
KF of Secure Network Operations reported that a remote user can create a specially crafted RealAudio 'ram' playlist that, when loaded
by the target user, will trigger a buffer overflow within the Kaffeine player. The overflow resides in the processing of Content-Type
headers in the http_open() function in 'http.c'.
The file can cause the target user's player to crash. It may be possible to
execute arbitrary code, but that was not confirmed in the report.
The vendor has been notified without response.
