Background ========== libcdio is a library for accessing CD-ROM and CD images. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 dev-libs/libcdio < 0.78.2-r4 >= 0.78.2-r4 Description =========== Devon Miller reported a boundary error in the "print_iso9660_recurse()" function in files cd-info.c and iso-info.c when processing long filenames within Joliet images. Impact ====== A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted ISO image in the cd-info and iso-info applications, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application. Applications linking against shared libraries of libcdio are not affected. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All libcdio users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/libcdio-0.78.2-r4" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2007-6613 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-6613 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200801-08.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
