jpegtoavi "get_file_list_stdin()" Function Buffer Overflow
Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA13538

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/13538/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
System access

WHERE:
From remote

SOFTWARE:
jpegtoavi 1.x
http://secunia.com/product/4422/

DESCRIPTION:
James Longstreet has reported a vulnerability in jpegtoavi, which can
be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the
"get_file_list_stdin()" function. This can be exploited to cause a
buffer overflow via a specially crafted list of JPEG images.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code, but
requires that a user is tricked into converting a malicious list of
JPEG images.

The vulnerability has been reported in version 1.5. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
This is a beta product and should not be used on production systems.

Use another product.
