Debian DSA-1023-1 : kaffeine - buffer overflow

medium Nessus Plugin ID 22565

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Marcus Meissner discovered that kaffeine, a versatile media player for KDE 3, contains an unchecked buffer that can be overwritten remotely when fetching remote RAM playlists which can cause the execution of arbitrary code.

Solution

Upgrade the kaffeine package.

The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain kaffeine packages.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 0.6-1sarge1.
