high Nessus Plugin ID 153810

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The remote Debian 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-2772 advisory.

- In TagLib 1.11.1, the rebuildAggregateFrames function in id3v2framefactory.cpp has a pointer to cast vulnerability, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted audio file. (CVE-2017-12678)

- The TagLib::Ogg::FLAC::File::scan function in oggflacfile.cpp in TagLib 1.11.1 allows remote attackers to cause information disclosure (heap-based buffer over-read) via a crafted audio file. (CVE-2018-11439)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade the taglib packages.

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 1.11.1+dfsg.1-0.3+deb9u1.
