Updated libvorbis packages to correct several security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1

This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

The libvorbis package contains runtime libraries for use in programs that support Ogg Voribs. Ogg Vorbis is a fully open, non-proprietary, patent-and royalty-free, general-purpose compressed audio format.

Several flaws were found in the way libvorbis processed audio data. An attacker could create a carefully crafted OGG audio file in such a way that it could cause an application linked with libvorbis to crash or execute arbitrary code when it was opened. (CVE-2007-3106, CVE-2007-4029, CVE-2007-4065, CVE-2007-4066)

Users of libvorbis are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which contains backported patches that resolve these issues.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200710-03 (libvorbis: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    David Thiel of iSEC Partners discovered a heap-based buffer overflow in     the _01inverse() function in res0.c and a boundary checking error in     the vorbis_info_clear() function in info.c (CVE-2007-3106 and     CVE-2007-4029). libvorbis is also prone to several Denial of Service     vulnerabilities in form of infinite loops and invalid memory access     with unknown impact (CVE-2007-4065 and CVE-2007-4066).
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by enticing a     user to open a specially crafted Ogg Vorbis file or network stream with     an application using libvorbis. This might lead to the execution of     arbitrary code with privileges of the user playing the file or a Denial     of Service by a crash or CPU consumption.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

David Thiel discovered that libvorbis did not correctly verify the size of certain headers, and did not correctly clean up a broken stream. If a user were tricked into processing a specially crafted Vorbis stream, a remote attacker could possibly cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code with the user's privileges.

Update :

Due to a packaging problem, the libvorbis development package was not able to be upgraded on Mandriva Linux 2007.1 This has been corrected with this new update.

Specially crafted OGG files could crash libvorbis or make it run into an endless loop. (CVE-2007-4029 / CVE-2007-4065 / CVE-2007-4066)

Specially crafted OGG files could crash libvorbis or make it run into an endless loop (CVE-2007-4029, CVE-2007-4065, CVE-2007-4066).

The remote Oracle Linux 5 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2007-0845 advisory.

    [1.0-8.el3]
     - Add 16 patches to fix various CVEs.
     - Resolves: #245995

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Oracle Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Multiple security flaws were found in libvorbis. This updated package fixes them all.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Several vulnerabilities were found in the Vorbis General Audio Compression Codec, which may lead to denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code, if a user is tricked into opening a malformed Ogg Audio file with an application linked against libvorbis.
