gentoo
Calendar Grey March 16, 2012
Dist Gentoo Esm H88
Numerous security flaws in ModPlug could result in unlawful code execution or trigger Denial of Service. Please implement required measures.
Multiple vulnerabilities in ModPlug could result in execution of arbitrary code or Denial of Service.

Summary

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in ModPlug: * The ReadS3M method in load_s3m.cpp fails to validate user-supplied information, which could cause a stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-2011-1574). * The "CSoundFile::ReadWav()" function in load_wav.cpp contains an integer overflow which could cause a heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2011-2911). * The "CSoundFile::ReadS3M()" function in load_s3m.cpp contains multiple boundary errors which could cause a stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-2011-2912). * The "CSoundFile::ReadAMS()" function in load_ams.cpp contains an off-by-one error which could cause memory corruption (CVE-2011-2913). * The "CSoundFile::ReadDSM()" function in load_dms.cpp contains an off-by-one error which could cause memory corruption (CVE-2011-2914). * The "CSoundFile::ReadAMS2()" function in load_ams.cpp contains an off-by-one error which could cause memory corruption (CVE-2011-2915).
