Debian DLA-1158-1 : bchunk security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 104364

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in bchunk, a tool to convert a CD image in .bin/.cue format into a set of .iso and .cdr/.wav tracks.
It was possible to trigger a heap-based buffer overflow with an resultant invalid free when processing a malformed CUE (.cue) file that may lead to the execution of arbitrary code or a application crash.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 1.2.0-12+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your bchunk packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected bchunk package.
