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-201203-16 (ModPlug: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code)Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in ModPlug:
The ReadS3M method in load_s3m.cpp fails to validate user-supplied information, which could cause a stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-2011-1574).
The 'CSoundFile::ReadWav()' function in load_wav.cpp contains an integer overflow which could cause a heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2011-2911).
The 'CSoundFile::ReadS3M()' function in load_s3m.cpp contains multiple boundary errors which could cause a stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-2011-2912).
The 'CSoundFile::ReadAMS()' function in load_ams.cpp contains an off-by-one error which could cause memory corruption (CVE-2011-2913).
The 'CSoundFile::ReadDSM()' function in load_dms.cpp contains an off-by-one error which could cause memory corruption (CVE-2011-2914).
The 'CSoundFile::ReadAMS2()' function in load_ams.cpp contains an off-by-one error which could cause memory corruption (CVE-2011-2915).
Impact :
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted media file, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code, or a Denial of Service condition.
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-0.8.8.4' NOTE: This is a legacy GLSA.
