Synopsis
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
A vulnerability in libcdaudio might allow for the remote execution of
arbitrary code.
Background
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
libcdaudio is a library of CD audio related routines.
Affected packages
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 media-libs/libcdaudio < 0.99.12-r1 >=3D 0.99.12-r1
Description
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
A heap-based buffer overflow has been reported in the
cddb_read_disc_data() function in cddb.c when processing overly long
CDDB data.
Impact
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
A remote attacker could entice a user to connect to a malicious CDDB
server, possibly resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary code
with the privileges of the user running the application.
Workaround
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
All libcdaudio users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=3Dmedia-libs/libcdaudio-0.99.12=
-r1"
