Background ========== Amarok is an advanced music player. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 media-sound/amarok < 1.4.10-r2 >= 1.4.10-r2 Description =========== Tobias Klein has discovered multiple vulnerabilities in Amarok: * Multiple integer overflows in the Audible::Tag::readTag() function in metadata/audible/audibletag.cpp trigger heap-based buffer overflows (CVE-2009-0135). * Multiple array index errors in the Audible::Tag::readTag() function in metadata/audible/audibletag.cpp can lead to invalid pointer dereferences, or the writing of a 0x00 byte to an arbitrary memory location after an allocation failure (CVE-2009-0136). Impact ====== A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted Audible Audio (.aa) file with a large "nlen" or "vlen" tag value to execute arbitrary code or cause a Denial of Service. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All Amarok users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-sound/amarok-1.4.10-r2" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2009-0135 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-0135 [ 2 ] CVE-2009-0136 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-0136 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200903-34.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
