Synopsis
========
Multiple vulnerabilities in Audacious Plugins could result in execution
of arbitrary code or Denial of Service.
Background
==========
Plugins for the Audacious music player.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 media-plugins/audacious-plugins
< 3.1 >= 3.1
Description
===========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Audacious Plugins:
* The "CSoundFile::ReadWav()" function in load_wav.cpp contains an
integer overflow which could cause a heap-based buffer overflow
(CVE-2011-2911).
* The "CSoundFile::ReadS3M()" function in load_s3m.cpp contains
multiple boundary errors which could cause a stack-based buffer
overflow (CVE-2011-2912).
* The "CSoundFile::ReadAMS()" function in load_ams.cpp contains an
off-by-one error which could cause memory corruption (CVE-2011-2913).
* The "CSoundFile::ReadDSM()" function in load_dms.cpp contains an
off-by-one error which could cause memory corruption (CVE-2011-2914).
* The "CSoundFile::ReadAMS2()" function in load_ams.cpp contains an
off-by-one error which could cause memory corruption (CVE-2011-2915).
Impact
======
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted media
file, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code, or a Denial of
Service condition.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All Audacious Plugins users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot -v ">=media-plugins/audacious-plugins-3.1"
