GLSA-202310-10 : libcue: Arbitrary Code Execution
high Nessus Plugin ID 182793
Language:
Description
The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202310-10 (libcue: Arbitrary Code Execution)- libcue provides an API for parsing and extracting data from CUE sheets. Versions 2.2.1 and prior are vulnerable to out-of-bounds array access. A user of the GNOME desktop environment can be exploited by downloading a cue sheet from a malicious webpage. Because the file is saved to `~/Downloads`, it is then automatically scanned by tracker-miners. And because it has a .cue filename extension, tracker-miners use libcue to parse the file. The file exploits the vulnerability in libcue to gain code execution.
(CVE-2023-43641)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
Solution
All libcue users should upgrade to the latest version:# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose >=media-libs/libcue-2.2.1-r1
