Synopsis
ModPlug contains several buffer overflows that could lead to the execution
of arbitrary code.
2.
Impact Information
Background
ModPlug is a library for playing MOD-like music.
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.
3.
Resolution Information
Workaround
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
All ModPlug users should upgrade to the latest version:
Code Listing 3.1: Resolution |
# 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:
Code Listing 3.2: Resolution |
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/gst-plugins-bad-0.10.11"
# emerge --ask --verbose "media-plugins/gst-plugins-modplug"
|
