Debian DSA-1123-1 : libdumb - buffer overflow

high Nessus Plugin ID 22665

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Luigi Auriemma discovered that DUMB, a tracker music library, performs insufficient sanitising of values parsed from IT music files, which might lead to a buffer overflow and execution of arbitrary code if manipulated files are read.

Solution

Upgrade the libdumb packages.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 0.9.2-6.
