Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-4816-1 advisory.

 - The Mem_File_Reader::read_avail function in Data_Reader.cpp in the Game_Music_Emu library (aka game-music- emu) 0.6.1 does not ensure a non-negative size, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted file. (CVE-2017-17446)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected libgme-dev and / or libgme0 packages.
