Synopsis
========
ModPlug contains several boundary errors that could lead to buffer
overflows resulting in the possible execution of arbitrary code.
Background
==========
ModPlug is a library for playing MOD-like music.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 media-libs/libmodplug < 0.8-r1 >= 0.8-r1
Description
===========
Luigi Auriemma has reported various boundary errors in load_it.cpp and
a boundary error in the "CSoundFile::ReadSample()" function in
sndfile.cpp.
Impact
======
A remote attacker can entice a user to read crafted modules or ITP
files, which may trigger a buffer overflow resulting in the execution
of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the
application.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All ModPlug users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/libmodplug-0.8-r1"
References
