Amazon Linux 2 : vorbis-tools, --advisory ALAS2-2026-3349 (ALAS-2026-3349)

high Nessus Plugin ID 319775

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2 host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of vorbis-tools installed on the remote host is prior to 1.4.0-13. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2026-3349 advisory.

A buffer underflow vulnerability has been identified in the ogg123 utility from the vorbis-tools 1.4.3 package in function remotethread in remote.c. This vulnerability occurs in the remote control functionality when processing malformed input, leading to a stack buffer underflow that can cause application crashes and potentially allow code execution. (CVE-2026-34253)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

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

Solution

Run 'yum update vorbis-tools' or or 'yum update --advisory ALAS2-2026-3349' to update your system.
