Synopsis
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Multiple vulnerabilities in Amarok might allow for user-assisted
execution of arbitrary code.
Background
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Amarok is an advanced music player.
Affected packages
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected

Description
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Tobias Klein has discovered multiple vulnerabilities in Amarok:
* Multiple integer overflows in the Audible::Tag::readTag() function
in metadata/audible/audibletag.cpp trigger heap-based buffer
overflows (CVE-2009-0135).
* Multiple array index errors in the Audible::Tag::readTag() function
in metadata/audible/audibletag.cpp can lead to invalid pointer
dereferences, or the writing of a 0x00 byte to an arbitrary memory
location after an allocation failure (CVE-2009-0136).
Impact
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted
Audible Audio (.aa) file with a large "nlen" or "vlen" tag value to
execute arbitrary code or cause a Denial of Service.
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 Amarok users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=3Dmedia-sound/amarok-1.4.10-r2"=
