OpenMPT ReadSample() buffer overflow
| openmpt-readsample-bo (28309) |  High Risk |
Description:
OpenMPT is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking by the CSoundFile::ReadSample() function in soundlib/Sndfile.cpp. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted ITP file, or module, an attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system that is using the affected library.
Platforms Affected:
- Canonical, Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
- Canonical, Ubuntu 6.10
- Gentoo, Linux
- Libmodplug, Libmodplug 0.8
- Libmodplug, Libmodplug 0.8.4
- MandrakeSoft, Mandrake Linux 2007 X86_64
- MandrakeSoft, Mandrake Linux 2007
- OpenMPT, OpenMPT 1.17.02.43 and prior
Remedy:
For Gentoo Linux:
Refer to Gentoo Linux Security Announcement GLSA 200612-04 for patch, upgrade, or suggested workaround information. See References.
For Ubuntu Linux (libmodplug):
Refer to USN-521-1 for patch, upgrade, or suggested workaround information. See References.
For other distributions:
Contact your vendor for upgrade or patch information.
