Description |
35 |
=========== |
36 |
|
37 |
Tobias Klein has discovered multiple vulnerabilities in Amarok: |
38 |
|
39 |
* Multiple integer overflows in the Audible::Tag::readTag() function |
40 |
in metadata/audible/audibletag.cpp trigger heap-based buffer |
41 |
overflows (CVE-2009-0135). |
42 |
|
43 |
* Multiple array index errors in the Audible::Tag::readTag() function |
44 |
in metadata/audible/audibletag.cpp can lead to invalid pointer |
45 |
dereferences, or the writing of a 0x00 byte to an arbitrary memory |
46 |
location after an allocation failure (CVE-2009-0136). |
47 |
|
48 |
Impact |
49 |
====== |
50 |
|
51 |
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted |
52 |
Audible Audio (.aa) file with a large "nlen" or "vlen" tag value to |
53 |
execute arbitrary code or cause a Denial of Service. |
54 |
|
55 |
Workaround |
56 |
========== |
57 |
|
58 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
59 |
|
60 |
Resolution |
61 |
========== |
62 |
|
63 |
All Amarok users should upgrade to the latest version: |
64 |
|
65 |
# emerge --sync |
66 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-sound/amarok-1.4.10-r2" |
