Background ========== ModPlug is a library for playing MOD-like music. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 media-libs/libmodplug < 0.8.7 >= 0.8.7 2 media-libs/gst-plugins-bad < 0.10.11 >= 0.10.11 ------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 affected packages on all of their supported architectures. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Description =========== Two vulnerabilities have been reported in ModPlug: * dummy reported an integer overflow in the CSoundFile::ReadMed() function when processing a MED file with a crafted song comment or song name, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2009-1438). * Manfred Tremmel and Stanislav Brabec reported a buffer overflow in the PATinst() function when processing a long instrument name (CVE-2009-1513). The GStreamer Bad plug-ins (gst-plugins-bad) before 0.10.11 built a vulnerable copy of ModPlug. Impact ====== A remote attacker could entice a user to read specially crafted files, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All ModPlug users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/libmodplug-0.8.7" gst-plugins-bad 0.10.11 and later versions do not include the ModPlug plug-in (it has been moved to media-plugins/gst-plugins-modplug). All gst-plugins-bad users should upgrade to the latest version and install media-plugins/gst-plugins-modplug: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot -v ">=media-libs/gst-plugins-bad-0.10.11" # emerge --ask --verbose "media-plugins/gst-plugins-modplug" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2009-1438 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-1438 [ 2 ] CVE-2009-1513 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-1513 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200907-07.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.
