Synopsis
Multiple vulnerabilities, including buffer overflows, have been
found in abcm2ps.
2.
Impact Information
Background
abcm2ps is a program to convert abc files to Postscript files.
Description
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in abcm2ps:
- Boundary errors in the PUT0 and PUT1 macros, the trim_title()
function, or a long "-O" command line option can lead to a buffer
overflow (CVE-2010-3441).
- A vulnerability in the getarena() function in abc2ps.c can cause a
heap-based buffer overflow in abcm2ps (CVE-2010-4743).
- Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities (CVE-2010-4744).
Impact
A remote attacker could entice a user to load a specially crafted ABC
file or use a long -O option on the command line, resulting in the
execution of arbitrary code.
3.
Resolution Information
Workaround
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
All abcm2ps users should upgrade to the latest stable version:
Code Listing 3.1: Resolution |
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-sound/abcm2ps-5.9.13"
