Synopsis
========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in RTMPDump, the worst of
which could lead to arbitrary code execution.
Background

RTMPDump is an RTMP client intended to stream audio or video flash
content
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 media-video/rtmpdump < 2.4_p20161210 >= 2.4_p20161210
Description
===========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in RTMPDump.
The following is a list of vulnerabilities fixed:
* Additional decode input size checks
* Ignore zero-length packets
* Potential integer overflow in RTMPPacket_Alloc().
* Obsolete RTMPPacket_Free() call left over from original C++ to C
rewrite
* AMFProp_GetObject must make sure the prop is actually an object
Impact

A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted media
flash file using RTMPDump. This could possibly result in the execution
of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or a Denial of
Service condition.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All RTMPDump users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot -v ">=media-video/rtmpdump-2.4_p20161210"
