GLSA-200801-08 : libcdio: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code

medium Nessus Plugin ID 30032

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-200801-08 (libcdio: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code)

 Devon Miller reported a boundary error in the 'print_iso9660_recurse()' function in files cd-info.c and iso-info.c when processing long filenames within Joliet images.
 Impact :

 A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted ISO image in the cd-info and iso-info applications, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application. Applications linking against shared libraries of libcdio are not affected.
 Workaround :

 There is no known workaround at this time.

Solution

All libcdio users should upgrade to the latest version:
 # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=dev-libs/libcdio-0.78.2-r4'
