Background ========== libmusicbrainz is a client library used to access MusicBrainz music meta data. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 media-libs/musicbrainz < 2.1.4 >= 2.1.4 Description =========== Luigi Auriemma reported a possible buffer overflow in the MBHttp::Download function of lib/http.cpp as well as several possible buffer overflows in lib/rdfparse.c. Impact ====== A remote attacker could be able to execute arbitrary code or cause Denial of Service by making use of an overly long "Location" header in an HTTP redirect message from a malicious server or a long URL in malicious RDF feeds. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All libmusicbrainz users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/musicbrainz-2.1.4" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2006-4197 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-4197 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200610-09.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
