[ MDVSA-2009:128-1 ] libmodplug

[dude67]

_______________________________________________________________________

Package : libmodplug
Date : December 3, 2009
Affected: 2008.0
_______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

Multiple security vulnerabilities has been identified and fixed
in libmodplug:

Integer overflow in the CSoundFile::ReadMed function (src/load_med.cpp)
in libmodplug before 0.8.6, as used in gstreamer-plugins and other
products, allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary
code via a MED file with a crafted (1) song comment or (2) song name,
which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2009-1438).

Buffer overflow in the PATinst function in src/load_pat.cpp in
libmodplug before 0.8.7 allows user-assisted remote attackers to
cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a
long instrument name (CVE-2009-1513).

The updated packages have been patched to prevent this.

Update:

Packages for 2008.0 are being provided due to extended support for
Corporate products.
