Two vulnerabilities have been identified in GNUMP3d allowing for limited directory traversal and insecure temporary file creation.
| Package | Arch | Vulnerable | Unaffected |
|---|---|---|---|
| media-sound/gnump3d | * | < 2.9_pre7 | >= 2.9_pre7 |
GNUMP3d is a streaming server for MP3s, OGG vorbis files, movies and other media formats.
Ludwig Nussel from SUSE Linux has identified two vulnerabilities in GNUMP3d. GNUMP3d fails to properly check for the existence of /tmp/index.lok before writing to the file, allowing for local unauthorized access to files owned by the user running GNUMP3d. GNUMP3d also fails to properly validate the "theme" GET variable from CGI input, allowing for unauthorized file inclusion.
An attacker could overwrite files owned by the user running GNUMP3d by symlinking /tmp/index.lok to the file targeted for overwrite. An attacker could also include arbitrary files by traversing up the directory tree (at most two times, i.e. "../..") with the "theme" GET variable.
There is no known workaround at this time.
All GNUMP3d users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-sound/gnump3d-2.9_pre7"
GNUMP3d is vulnerable to directory traversal and cross-site scripting attacks that may result in information disclosure or the compromise of a browser.

GNUMP3d is a streaming server for MP3s, OGG vorbis files, movies and other media formats.
Steve Kemp reported about two cross-site scripting attacks that are related to the handling of files (CVE-2005-3424, CVE-2005-3425). Also reported is a directory traversal vulnerability which comes from the attempt to sanitize input paths (CVE-2005-3123).
A remote attacker could exploit this to disclose sensitive information or inject and execute malicious script code, potentially compromising the victim's browser.
There is no known workaround at this time.
All GNUMP3d users should upgrade to the latest version:
