--- This is the mail I have sent to Bugtraq the 24 September 2004 for taking track of this bug and moreover to warn users of the Windows version of Zinf, that unfortunately is not at the same level of the main Linux version. --- From: Luigi Auriemma To: bugtraq@securityfocus.com Subject: Buffer overflow in Zinf 2.2.1 for Win32 Date: Fri, 24 Sep 2004 21:31:02 +0000 I don't know why this bug has not been tracked but moreover I don't completely know why it has not been fixed yet in the Windows version of Zinf. In short, Zinf is an audio player for Linux and Windows: http://www.zinf.org The latest Linux version is 2.2.5 while the latest Windows version is 2.2.1 which is still vulnerable to a buffer-overflow bug in the management of the playlist files ".pls". This bug has been found and fixed by the same developers in the recent versions for Linux but, as already said, the vulnerable Windows version is still downloadable and can be exploited locally and remotely through the web browser and a malicious pls file. A simple proof-of-concept to test the bug is available here: http://aluigi.org/poc/zinf-bof.pls That's all, just to keep track of this bug and to warn who uses the Windows version. BYEZ
