Background ========= The GStreamer plug-ins provide decoders to the GStreamer open source media framework. Affected packages ================ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 media-libs/gst-plugins-good < 0.10.14 > = 0.10.14 2 media-libs/gst-plugins-base < 0.10.22 > = 0.10.22 3 media-plugins/gst-plugins-libpng < 0.10.14-r1 > = 0.10.14-r1 ------------------------------------------------------------------- 3 affected packages on all of their supported architectures. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Description ========== Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in several GStreamer plug-ins: * Tobias Klein reported two heap-based buffer overflows and an array index error in the qtdemux_parse_samples() function in gst-plugins-good when processing a QuickTime media .mov file (CVE-2009-0386, CVE-2009-0387, CVE-2009-0397). * Thomas Hoger of the Red Hat Security Response Team reported an integer overflow that can lead to a heap-based buffer overflow in the gst_vorbis_tag_add_coverart() function in gst-plugins-base when processing COVERART tags (CVE-2009-0586). * Tielei Wang of ICST-ERCIS, Peking University reported multiple integer overflows leading to buffer overflows in gst-plugins-libpng when processing a PNG file (CVE-2009-1932). Impact ===== A remote attacker could entice a user or automated system using a GStreamer plug-in to process a specially crafted file, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code or a Denial of Service. Workaround ========= There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========= All gst-plugins-good users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot -v "> =media-libs/gst-plugins-good-0.10.14" All gst-plugins-base users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot -v "> =media-libs/gst-plugins-base-0.10.22" All gst-plugins-libpng users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge -a -1 -v "> =media-plugins/gst-plugins-libpng-0.10.14-r1" References ========= [ 1 ] CVE-2009-0386 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2009-0386 [ 2 ] CVE-2009-0387 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2009-0387 [ 3 ] CVE-2009-0397 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2009-0397 [ 4 ] CVE-2009-0586 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2009-0586 [ 5 ] CVE-2009-1932 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2009-1932 Availability =========== This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/200907-11 Concerns? ======== Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
