DUMB: Heap buffer overflow

DUMB: Heap buffer overflow A heap-based buffer overflow in DUMB could result in the execution of arbitrary code. dumb 2006-08-08 2006-08-08 142387 remote 0.9.3-r1 0.9.3-r1

DUMB (Dynamic Universal Music Bibliotheque) is an IT, XM, S3M and MOD player library.

Luigi Auriemma found a heap-based buffer overflow in the it_read_envelope function which reads the envelope values for volume, pan and pitch of the instruments referenced in a ".it" (Impulse Tracker) file with a large number of nodes.

By enticing a user to load a malicious ".it" (Impulse Tracker) file, an attacker may execute arbitrary code with the rights of the user running the application that uses a vulnerable DUMB library.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All users of DUMB should upgrade to the latest version:


    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/dumb-0.9.3-r1"
