+ <title>GnomeVFS, libcdaudio: CDDB response overflow</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ The GnomeVFS and libcdaudio libraries contain a buffer overflow that can be
+ triggered by a large CDDB response, potentially allowing the execution of
+ arbitrary code.

+ <p>
+ GnomeVFS is a filesystem abstraction library for the GNOME desktop
+ environment. libcdaudio is a multi-platform CD player development
+ library. They both include code to query CDDB servers to get Audio CD
+ track titles.

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Joseph VanAndel has discovered a buffer overflow in Grip when
+ processing large CDDB results (see GLSA 200503-21). The same overflow
+ is present in GnomeVFS and libcdaudio code.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A malicious CDDB server could cause applications making use of GnomeVFS
+ or libcdaudio libraries to crash, potentially allowing 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 GnomeVFS users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose gnome-base/gnome-vfs</code>
+ <p>
+ All libcdaudio users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-libs/libcdaudio-0.99.10-r1"</code>
