GLSA-200503-21 : Grip: CDDB response overflow

high Nessus Plugin ID 17353

Synopsis

The remote Gentoo host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200503-21 (Grip: CDDB response overflow)

 Joseph VanAndel has discovered a buffer overflow in Grip when processing large CDDB results.
 Impact :

 A malicious CDDB server could cause Grip to crash by returning more then 16 matches, potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.
 Workaround :

 Disable automatic CDDB queries, but we highly encourage users to upgrade to 3.3.0.

Solution

All Grip users should upgrade to the latest version:
 # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=media-sound/grip-3.3.0'
