    <p>
    ModPlug is a library for playing MOD-like music.

  <description>
    <p>
    Two vulnerabilities have been reported in ModPlug:
    </p>
    <ul>
    <li>
    dummy reported an integer overflow in the CSoundFile::ReadMed()
    function when processing a MED file with a crafted song comment or song
    name, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2009-1438).
    </li>
    <li>
    Manfred Tremmel and Stanislav Brabec reported a buffer overflow in the
    PATinst() function when processing a long instrument name
    (CVE-2009-1513).
    </li>
    </ul> <p>
    The GStreamer Bad plug-ins (gst-plugins-bad) before 0.10.11 built a
    vulnerable copy of ModPlug.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could entice a user to read specially crafted files,
    possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the
    privileges of the user running the application.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All ModPlug users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-libs/libmodplug-0.8.7"</code>
    <p>
    gst-plugins-bad 0.10.11 and later versions do not include the ModPlug
    plug-in (it has been moved to media-plugins/gst-plugins-modplug). All
    gst-plugins-bad users should upgrade to the latest version and install
    media-plugins/gst-plugins-modplug:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-libs/gst-plugins-bad-0.10.11"
    # emerge --ask --verbose "media-plugins/gst-plugins-modplug"</code>
