Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.

1) Heap-based buffer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU33093

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 2.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2013-4233

CWE-ID: CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in Integer overflow in the abc_set_parts function in load_abc.cpp in libmodplug 0.8.8.4 and earlier. A remote attacker can use a crafted P header in an ABC file to trigger heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.
media-libs/libmodplug to version: 0.8.8.5

Vulnerable software versions

Gentoo Linux: All versions

Q & A

Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?

Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote non-authenticated attacker via the Internet.

Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.

2) Buffer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU33094

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 2.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2013-4234

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to read and manipulate data.

Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in the (1) abc_MIDI_drum and (2) abc_MIDI_gchord functions in load_abc.cpp in libmodplug 0.8.8.4 and earlier allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted ABC.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.
media-libs/libmodplug to version: 0.8.8.5

Vulnerable software versions
