Debian DLA-1312-1 : libvorbisidec security update

critical Nessus Plugin ID 108568

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Huzaifa Sidhpurwala discovered that an out-of-bounds memory write in the codebook parsing code of the Libtremor multimedia library could result in the execution of arbitrary code if a malformed Vorbis file is opened.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 1.0.2+svn18153-0.2+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your libvorbisidec packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected libvorbisidec-dev, and libvorbisidec1 packages.
