Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
Multiple buffer overflow vulnerabilities in libmikmod may allow an |
19 |
attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a Denial of Service |
20 |
condition. |
21 |
|
22 |
Background |
23 |
========== |
24 |
|
25 |
libmikmod is a library to play a wide range of module formats. |
26 |
|
27 |
Affected packages |
28 |
================= |
29 |
|
30 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
31 |
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected |

Description |
37 |
=========== |
38 |
|
39 |
Multiple boundary errors have been found in load_it.c in libmikmod, |
40 |
which may cause a buffer overflow. |
41 |
|
42 |
Impact |
43 |
====== |
44 |
|
45 |
A remote attacker could entice a user to open specially crafted files |
46 |
in an application linked against libmikmod, possibly resulting in |
47 |
execution of arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running |
48 |
the application, or Denial of Service. |
49 |
|
50 |
Workaround |
51 |
========== |
52 |
|
53 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
54 |
|
55 |
Resolution |
56 |
========== |
57 |
|
58 |
All libmikmod 3.2 users should upgrade to the latest version: |
59 |
|
60 |
# emerge --sync |
61 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot -v ">=media-libs/libmikmod-3.2.0_beta2-r3" |
62 |
|
63 |
All libmikmod 3.1 users should upgrade to the latest version: |
64 |
|
65 |
# emerge --sync |
66 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/libmikmod-3.1.12-r1" |
67 |
|
68 |
Packages which depend on this library may need to be recompiled. Tools |
69 |
such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying some of these |
70 |
packages. |
