critical Nessus Plugin ID 35343
Synopsis
The remote FreeBSD host is missing a security-related update.Description
securityfocus reports :The 'libcdaudio' library is prone to a remote heap code in the context of an application that uses the library. Failed attacks will cause denial-of-service conditions.
A buffer-overflow in Grip occurs when the software processes a response to a CDDB query that has more than 16 matches.
To exploit this issue, an attacker must be able to influence the response to a CDDB query, either by controlling a malicious CDDB server or through some other means. Successful exploits will allow arbitrary code to run.
Solution
Update the affected package.See Also
