Ubuntu 16.04 ESM : LAME vulnerabilities (USN-4780-1)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 183698

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4780-1 advisory.

 It was discovered that LAME incorrectly handled certain audio files. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. Eight vulnerabilities (CVE-2015-9099, CVE-2015-9100, CVE-2015-9101, CVE-2017-15018, CVE-2017-11720, CVE-2017-8419, CVE-2017-9412, CVE-2017-15045) only affected Ubuntu 14.04 ESM, two vulnerabilities (CVE-2017-9410 and CVE-2017-9411) only affected Ubuntu 16.04 ESM, and one vulnerability (CVE-2017-15019) affected both Ubuntu 14.04 ESM and Ubuntu 16.04.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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

Solution

Update the affected lame, libmp3lame-dev and / or libmp3lame0 packages.
