Description Raphael Marichez (Falco) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-08-16 02:45:34 UTC
No upstream patch available


SA 21404:

Software:	libmusicbrainz 2.x

Description:
Luigi Auriemma has reported some vulnerabilities in libmusicbrainz, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) or potentially compromise a vulnerable system.

1) A boundary error within the MBHttp::Download function in lib/http.cpp can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow via a large "location" field in a HTTP redirection received from a malicious MusicBrainz server.

2) Various boundary errors within rdfparse.c can be exploited to cause buffer overflows via very long URLs included in a malicious RDF feed.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

Solution:
Do not connect to untrusted MusicBrainz servers.

Provided and/or discovered by:
Luigi Auriemma

SPARC stable
Comment 7 Christian Faulhammer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-10-16 00:33:56 UTC
1) emerges fine
2) passes collision protect
3) audacious emerges fine on it and I think musicbrainz worked
