Detail

Problem Description:

Updated gstreamer-plugins packages that fix multiple security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having important security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 4 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop version 4 - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64

3. Description:

The gstreamer-plugins packages contain plug-ins used by the GStreamer streaming-media framework to support a wide variety of media formats.

An integer overflow flaw, a boundary error, and multiple off-by-one flaws were found in various ModPlug music file format library (libmodplug) modules, embedded in GStreamer. An attacker could create specially-crafted music files that, when played by a victim, would cause applications using GStreamer to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2011-2911, CVE-2011-2912, CVE-2011-2913, CVE-2011-2914, CVE-2011-2915)

All users of gstreamer-plugins are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues. After installing the update, all applications using GStreamer (such as Rhythmbox) must be restarted for the changes to take effect.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-11259

5. Bugs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

728371 - CVE-2011-2911 CVE-2011-2912 CVE-2011-2913 CVE-2011-2914 CVE-2011-2915 libmodplug: multiple vulnerabilities reported in <= 0.8.8.3

Title: DSA-2415-1 libmodplug -- several
Description: Several vulnerabilities that can lead to the execution of arbitrary code have been discovered in libmodplug, a library for mod music based on ModPlug. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following issues: CVE-2011-1761 epiphant discovered that the abc file parser is vulnerable to several stack-based buffer overflows that potentially lead to the execution of arbitrary code. CVE-2011-2911 Hossein Lotfi of Secunia discovered that the CSoundFile::ReadWav function is vulnerable to an integer overflow which leads to a heap-based buffer overflow. An attacker can exploit this flaw to potentially execute arbitrary code by tricking a victim into opening crafted WAV files. CVE-2011-2912 Hossein Lotfi of Secunia discovered that the CSoundFile::ReadS3M function is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow. An attacker can exploit this flaw to potentially execute arbitrary code by tricking a victim into opening crafted S3M files. CVE-2011-2913 Hossein Lotfi of Secunia discovered that the CSoundFile::ReadAMS function suffers from an off-by-one vulnerability that leads to memory corruption. An attacker can exploit this flaw to potentially execute arbitrary code by tricking a victim into opening crafted AMS files. CVE-2011-2914 It was discovered that the CSoundFile::ReadDSM function suffers from an off-by-one vulnerability that leads to memory corruption. An attacker can exploit this flaw to potentially execute arbitrary code by tricking a victim into opening crafted DSM files. CVE-2011-2915 It was discovered that the CSoundFile::ReadAMS2 function suffers from an off-by-one vulnerability that leads to memory corruption. An attacker can exploit this flaw to potentially execute arbitrary code by tricking a victim into opening crafted AMS files.
