Severity:	normal
Title:	TagLib: Multiple vulnerabilities
Date:	06/22/2012
Bugs:	#407673, #410953
ID:	201206-16

Synopsis

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in TagLib, possibly resulting in Denial of Service.

Background

TagLib is a library for reading and editing audio meta data.

Affected packages

Package	Vulnerable	Unaffected	Architecture(s)
media-libs/taglib	< 1.7.1	>= 1.7.1	All supported architectures

Description

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in TagLib:

The "analyzeCurrent()" function in ape/apeproperties.cpp contains a division by zero error (CVE-2012-1107).
The "parse()" function in inogg/xiphcomment.cpp contains an error when processing the "vendorLength" field (CVE-2012-1108).
The "mid()" function in toolkit/tbytevector.cpp contains an integer overflow error (CVE-2012-1584).

Impact

A remote attacker could entice a user or automated system to open a specially crafted OGG file with an application using TagLib, possibly resulting in a Denial of Service condition.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All TagLib users should upgrade to the latest version:

      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/taglib-1.7.1"

Packages which depend on this library may need to be recompiled. Tools such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying some of these packages.
