Background ========== libcdaudio is a library of CD audio related routines. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 media-libs/libcdaudio < 0.99.12-r1 >= 0.99.12-r1 Description =========== A heap-based buffer overflow has been reported in the cddb_read_disc_data() function in cddb.c when processing overly long CDDB data. Impact ====== A remote attacker could entice a user to connect to a malicious CDDB 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 libcdaudio users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/libcdaudio-0.99.12-r1" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2008-5030 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-5030 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200903-31.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.
