Severity: Normal Title: mpg123: Buffer overflow vulnerability Date: September 16, 2004 Bugs: #63079 ID: 200409-20 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Synopsis ======== mpg123 decoding routines contain a buffer overflow bug that might lead to arbitrary code execution. Background ========== mpg123 is a MPEG Audio Player. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 media-sound/mpg123 <= 0.59s-r3 >= 0.59s-r4 Description =========== mpg123 contains a buffer overflow in the code that handles layer2 decoding of media files. Impact ====== An attacker can possibly exploit this bug with a specially-crafted mp3 or mp2 file to execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running mpg123. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All mpg123 users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge sync # emerge -pv ">=media-sound/mpg123-0.59s-r4" # emerge ">=media-sound/mpg123-0.59s-r4" References ========== [ 1 ] BugTraq Announcement http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/374433/2004-09-05/2004-09-11/0 [ 2 ] CAN-2004-0805 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0805 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200409-20.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.
