| Package | Arch | Vulnerable | Unaffected |
|---|---|---|---|
| media-libs/libvorbis | * | < 1.3.6-r1 | >= 1.3.6-r1 |
libvorbis is the reference implementation of the Xiph.org Ogg Vorbis audio file format. It is used by many applications for playback of Ogg Vorbis files.
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in libvorbis. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
A remote attacker, by enticing the user to process a specially crafted audio file, could possibly cause a Denial of Service condition.
There is no known workaround at this time.
All libvorbis users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/libvorbis-1.3.6-r1"
A processing error in libvorbis might result in the execution of arbitrary code or a Denial of Service.
| Package | Arch | Vulnerable | Unaffected |
|---|---|---|---|
| media-libs/libvorbis | * | < 1.2.3 | >= 1.2.3 |
libvorbis is the reference implementation of the Xiph.org Ogg Vorbis audio file format. It is used by many applications for playback of Ogg Vorbis files.
Lucas Adamski reported that libvorbis does not correctly process file headers, related to static mode headers and encoding books.
A remote attacker could entice a user to play a specially crafted OGG Vorbis file using an application that uses libvorbis, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application, or a Denial of Service.
There is no known workaround at this time.
All libvorbis users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/libvorbis-1.2.3"
Multiple vulnerabilities in libvorbis might lead to the execution of arbitrary code.
| Package | Arch | Vulnerable | Unaffected |
|---|---|---|---|
| media-libs/libvorbis | * | < 1.2.1_rc1 | >= 1.2.1_rc1 |
libvorbis is the reference implementation of the Xiph.org Ogg Vorbis audio file format. It is used by many applications for playback of Ogg Vorbis files.
Will Drewry of the Google Security Team reported multiple vulnerabilities in libvorbis:
A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by enticing a user to open a specially crafted Ogg Vorbis file or network stream with an application using libvorbis. This might lead to the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user playing the file or a Denial of Service by a crash or CPU consumption.
There is no known workaround at this time.
All libvorbis users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/libvorbis-1.2.1_rc1"
A buffer overflow vulnerability and several memory corruptions have been discovered in libvorbis.
| Package | Arch | Vulnerable | Unaffected |
|---|---|---|---|
| media-libs/libvorbis | * | < 1.2.0 | >= 1.2.0 |
libvorbis is the reference implementation of the Xiph.org Ogg Vorbis audio file format. It is used by many applications for playback of Ogg Vorbis files.
David Thiel of iSEC Partners discovered a heap-based buffer overflow in the _01inverse() function in res0.c and a boundary checking error in the vorbis_info_clear() function in info.c (CVE-2007-3106 and CVE-2007-4029). libvorbis is also prone to several Denial of Service vulnerabilities in form of infinite loops and invalid memory access with unknown impact (CVE-2007-4065 and CVE-2007-4066).
A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by enticing a user to open a specially crafted Ogg Vorbis file or network stream with an application using libvorbis. This might lead to the execution of arbitrary code with privileges of the user playing the file or a Denial of Service by a crash or CPU consumption.
There is no known workaround at this time.
