Audacity: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code A boundary error in Audacity allows for the execution of arbitrary code. audacity 2009-03-06 2009-03-06 253493 remote 1.3.6 1.3.6

Audacity is a free cross-platform audio editor.

Houssamix discovered a boundary error in the String_parse::get_nonspace_quoted() function in lib-src/allegro/strparse.cpp.

A remote attacker could entice a user into importing a specially crafted *.gro file, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code or a Denial of Service.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All Audacity users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-sound/audacity-1.3.6"
