+ <title>libsndfile: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ Multiple heap-based buffer overflow vulnerabilities in libsndfile might
+ allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.

+ <package name="media-libs/libsndfile" auto="yes" arch="*">

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ libsndfile is a C library for reading and writing files containing
+ sampled sound.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ The following vulnerabilities have been found in libsndfile:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Tobias Klein reported that the header_read() function in
+ src/common.c uses user input for calculating a buffer size, possibly
+ leading to a heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2009-1788).</li>
+ <li>The
+ vendor reported a boundary error in the aiff_read_header() function in
+ src/aiff.c, possibly leading to a heap-based buffer overflow
+ (CVE-2009-1791).</li>
+ </ul>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted AIFF
+ or VOC file in a program using libsndfile, possibly resulting in the
+ execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the
+ application.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All libsndfile users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=media-libs/libsndfile-1.0.20&quot;</code>
