Debian Security Advisory DSA 2415-1 (libmodplug)

The remote host is missing an update to libmodplug announced via advisory DSA 2415-1.

Several vulnerabilities that can lead to the execution of arbitrary code have been discovered in libmodplug, a library for mod music based on ModPlug. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following issues: CVE-2011-1761 epiphant discovered that the abc file parser is vulnerable to several stack-based buffer overflows that potentially lead to the execution of arbitrary code. CVE-2011-2911 Hossein Lotfi of Secunia discovered that the CSoundFile::ReadWav function is vulnerable to an integer overflow which leads to a heap-based buffer overflow. An attacker can exploit this flaw to potentially execute arbitrary code by tricking a victim into opening crafted WAV files. CVE-2011-2912 Hossein Lotfi of Secunia discovered that the CSoundFile::ReadS3M function is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow. An attacker can exploit this flaw to potentially execute arbitrary code by tricking a victim into opening crafted S3M files. CVE-2011-2913 Hossein Lotfi of Secunia discovered that the CSoundFile::ReadAMS function suffers from an off-by-one vulnerability that leads to memory corruption. An attacker can exploit this flaw to potentially execute arbitrary code by tricking a victim into opening crafted AMS files. CVE-2011-2914 It was discovered that the CSoundFile::ReadDSM function suffers from an off-by-one vulnerability that leads to memory corruption. An attacker can exploit this flaw to potentially execute arbitrary code by tricking a victim into opening crafted DSM files. CVE-2011-2915 It was discovered that the CSoundFile::ReadAMS2 function suffers from an off-by-one vulnerability that leads to memory corruption. An attacker can exploit this flaw to potentially execute arbitrary code by tricking a victim into opening crafted AMS files. For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 1:0.8.8.1-1+squeeze2. For the testing (wheezy) and unstable (sid) distributions, this problem has been fixed in version 1:0.8.8.4-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your libmodplug packages.
