Debian DLA-2039-1 : libvorbis security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 132106

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Two issues have been found in libvorbis, a decoder library for Vorbis General Audio Compression Codec.

2017-14633

In Xiph.Org libvorbis 1.3.5, an out-of-bounds array read vulnerability exists in the function mapping0_forward() in mapping0.c, which may lead to DoS when operating on a crafted audio file with vorbis_analysis().

2017-11333

The vorbis_analysis_wrote function in lib/block.c in Xiph.Org libvorbis 1.3.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (OOM) via a crafted wav file.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 1.3.4-2+deb8u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your libvorbis 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 packages.
