Red Hat Linux 7.2 RHSA-2002:078-04 Critical: mpg321 Buffer Overflow

pdated mpg321 packages are available for Red Hat Linux 7.2, which fixa buffer overflow in the network streaming code as well as other bugs.. ` --------------------------------------------------------------------- Red Hat, Inc. Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Updated mpg321 packages available Advisory ID: RHSA-2002:078-04 Issue date: 2002-04-30 Updated on: 2002-05-06 Product: Red Hat Linux Keywords: mp321 buffer overflow network Cross references: Obsoletes: --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Topic: Updated mpg321 packages are available for Red Hat Linux 7.2, which fix a buffer overflow in the network streaming code as well as other bugs. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Linux 7.2 - i386, ia64 3. Problem description: mpg321 is a GPL command-line mp3 player. It is possible for mpg321 before version 0.2.9 to segfault if given certain specifically crafted data. In the case of network streaming, this data would be remotely supplied, which could lead to remote code execution. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2002-0272 to this issue. It is recommended that users of mpg321 upgrade to these errata packages containing mpg321 version 0.2.10, which is not vulnerable to this issue. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied. To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run: rpm -Fvh [filenames] where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the desired RPMs. Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many people find this an easier way to apply updates. To useRed Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate RPMs being upgraded on your system. 5.
