Debian DSA-2045-1 : libtheora - integer overflow

high Nessus Plugin ID 46316

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

Bob Clary, Dan Kaminsky and David Keeler discovered that in libtheora, a video library part of the Ogg project, several flaws allow context-dependent attackers via a large and specially crafted media file, to cause a denial of service (crash of the player using this library), and possibly arbitrary code execution.

Solution

Upgrade the libtheora packages.

For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 1.0~beta3-1+lenny1.
