Libmms · Libmms · CVE-2006-2200
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
MiMMS version 0.0.9
xine-lib versions 1.1.0 and earlier
**Description**
The issue is a stack-based buffer overflow in libmms, which can be exploited by remote attackers to cause a denial of service, potentially leading to application crashes, and possibly allowing the execution of arbitrary code. This can occur through various functions, including `send command()`, `string utf16()`, `get data()`, and `get media packet()`, as well as possibly other functions.
**Recommendations**
For MiMMS version 0.0.9, consider disabling the `send command()`, `string utf16()`, `get data()`, and `get media packet()` functions as a temporary workaround until a patch is available.
For xine-lib versions 1.1.0 and earlier, restrict access to the vulnerable libmms module to minimize the risk of exploitation.
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
