Background ========== Streamripper is a tool for extracting and recording mp3 files from a Shoutcast stream. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 media-sound/streamripper < 1.64.0 >= 1.64.0 Description =========== Stefan Cornelius from Secunia Research reported multiple buffer overflows in the http_parse_sc_header(), http_get_pls() and http_get_m3u() functions in lib/http.c when parsing overly long HTTP headers, or pls and m3u playlists with overly long entries. Impact ====== A remote attacker could entice a user to connect to a malicious server, possibly resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All Streamripper users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-sound/streamripper-1.64.0" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2008-4829 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-4829 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200901-05.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.
