GLSA-200907-07 : ModPlug: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code
high Nessus Plugin ID 39778
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-200907-07 (ModPlug: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code)Two vulnerabilities have been reported in ModPlug:
dummy reported an integer overflow in the CSoundFile::ReadMed() function when processing a MED file with a crafted song comment or song name, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2009-1438).
Manfred Tremmel and Stanislav Brabec reported a buffer overflow in the PATinst() function when processing a long instrument name (CVE-2009-1513).
The GStreamer Bad plug-ins (gst-plugins-bad) before 0.10.11 built a vulnerable copy of ModPlug.
Impact :
A remote attacker could entice a user to read specially crafted files, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.
Workaround :
There is no known workaround at this time.
Solution
All ModPlug users should upgrade to the latest version:# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=media-libs/libmodplug-0.8.7' gst-plugins-bad 0.10.11 and later versions do not include the ModPlug plug-in (it has been moved to media-plugins/gst-plugins-modplug). All gst-plugins-bad users should upgrade to the latest version and install media-plugins/gst-plugins-modplug:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=media-libs/gst-plugins-bad-0.10.11' # emerge --ask --verbose 'media-plugins/gst-plugins-modplug'
