Detail

Synopsis

Multiple vulnerabilities in libvorbis might lead to the execution of arbitrary code.

Background

libvorbis is the reference implementation of the Xiph.org Ogg Vorbis audio file format. It is used by many applications for playback of Ogg Vorbis files.

Description

Will Drewry of the Google Security Team reported multiple vulnerabilities in libvorbis:

* A zero value for "codebook.dim" is not properly handled, leading to a crash, infinite loop or triggering an integer overflow (CVE-2008-1419).

* An integer overflow in "residue partition value" evaluation might lead to a heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2008-1420).

* An integer overflow in a certain "quantvals" and "quantlist"
calculation might lead to a heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2008-1423).

Impact

A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by enticing a user to open a specially crafted Ogg Vorbis file or network stream with an application using libvorbis. This might lead to the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user playing the file or a Denial of Service by a crash or CPU consumption.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All libvorbis users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot -v ">=media-libs/libvorbis-1.2.1_rc1"

Title: USN-825-1 -- libvorbis vulnerability
Description: It was discovered that libvorbis did not correctly handle certain malformed ogg files. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted ogg file with an application that uses libvorbis, an attacker could execute arbitrary code with the user�s privileges. USN-682-1 provided updated libvorbis packages to fix multiple security vulnerabilities. The upstream security patch to fix CVE-2008-1420 introduced a regression when reading sound files encoded with libvorbis 1.0beta1. This update corrects the problem. Original advisory details: It was discovered that libvorbis did not correctly handle certain malformed sound files.
