|
oCERT reported that the Speex library does not properly validate the
|
|
"mode" value it derives from Speex streams, allowing for array indexing
|
|
vulnerabilities inside multiple player applications. Within Gentoo,
|
|
xine-lib, VLC, gst-plugins-speex from the GStreamer Good Plug-ins,
|
|
vorbis-tools, libfishsound, Sweep, SDL_sound, and speexdec were found
|
|
to be vulnerable.

<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted Speex
|
|
file or network stream with an application listed above. This might
|
|
lead to the execution of arbitrary code with privileges of the user
|
|
playing the file.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All Speex users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/speex-1.2_beta3_p2"</code>
