ID: | 200907-11 |
Synopsis
Multiple vulnerabilities in multiple GStreamer plug-ins might allow for the execution of arbitrary code.Background
The GStreamer plug-ins provide decoders to the GStreamer open source media framework.
Affected packages
Package | Vulnerable | Unaffected | Architecture(s) |
---|---|---|---|
media-libs/gst-plugins-good | < 0.10.14 | >= 0.10.14 | All supported architectures |
media-libs/gst-plugins-base | < 0.10.22 | >= 0.10.22 | All supported architectures |
media-plugins/gst-plugins-libpng | < 0.10.14-r1 | >= 0.10.14-r1 | All 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 --verbose ">=media-libs/gst-plugins-good-0.10.14"
All gst-plugins-base users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/gst-plugins-base-0.10.22"
All gst-plugins-libpng users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-plugins/gst-plugins-libpng-0.10.14-r1"
