<description>
|
|
<p>
|
|
AlsaPlayer contains three buffer overflows: in the function that
|
|
handles the HTTP connections, the GTK interface, and the CDDB querying
|
|
mechanism.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</description>
|
|
<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
An attacker could exploit the first vulnerability by enticing a user to
|
|
load a malicious URL resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with
|
|
the permissions of the user running AlsaPlayer.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.

|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
AlsaPlayer has been masked in Portage pending the resolution of these
|
|
issues. AlsaPlayer users are advised to uninstall the package until
|
|
further notice:
