Synopsis
Multiple vulnerabilities in multiple GStreamer plug-ins might allow for the
execution of arbitrary code.
2.
Impact Information
Background
The GStreamer plug-ins provide decoders to the GStreamer open source
media framework.
Description
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in several GStreamer
plug-ins:
-
Tobias Klein reported two heap-based buffer overflows and an array
index error in the qtdemux_parse_samples() function in gst-plugins-good
when processing a QuickTime media .mov file (CVE-2009-0386,
CVE-2009-0387, CVE-2009-0397).
-
Thomas Hoger of the Red Hat Security Response Team reported an integer
overflow that can lead to a heap-based buffer overflow in the
gst_vorbis_tag_add_coverart() function in gst-plugins-base when
processing COVERART tags (CVE-2009-0586).
-
Tielei Wang of ICST-ERCIS, Peking University reported multiple integer
overflows leading to buffer overflows in gst-plugins-libpng when
processing a PNG file (CVE-2009-1932).
Impact
A remote attacker could entice a user or automated system using a
GStreamer plug-in to process a specially crafted file, resulting in the
execution of arbitrary code or a Denial of Service.
3.
Resolution Information
Workaround
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
All gst-plugins-good users should upgrade to the latest version:
Code Listing 3.1: Resolution |
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/gst-plugins-good-0.10.14"
|
All gst-plugins-base users should upgrade to the latest version:
Code Listing 3.2: Resolution |
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/gst-plugins-base-0.10.22"
|
All gst-plugins-libpng users should upgrade to the latest version:
Code Listing 3.3: Resolution |
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-plugins/gst-plugins-libpng-0.10.14-r1"
|
