GLSA-200608-14 : DUMB: Heap buffer overflow

high Nessus Plugin ID 22200

Synopsis

The remote Gentoo host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200608-14 (DUMB: Heap buffer overflow)

 Luigi Auriemma found a heap-based buffer overflow in the it_read_envelope function which reads the envelope values for volume, pan and pitch of the instruments referenced in a '.it' (Impulse Tracker) file with a large number of nodes.
 Impact :

 By enticing a user to load a malicious '.it' (Impulse Tracker) file, an attacker may execute arbitrary code with the rights of the user running the application that uses a vulnerable DUMB library.
 Workaround :

 There is no known workaround at this time.

Solution

All users of DUMB should upgrade to the latest version:
 # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=media-libs/dumb-0.9.3-r1'
