+ <title>FLAC: Buffer overflow</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ Multiple integer overflow vulnerabilities were found in FLAC possibly
+ allowing for the execution of arbitrary code.

+ <affected>
+ <package name="media-libs/flac" auto="yes" arch="*">

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ The Xiph.org Free Lossless Audio Codec (FLAC) library is the reference
+ implementation of the FLAC audio file format. It contains encoders and
+ decoders in library and executable form.
+ </p>

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Sean de Regge reported multiple integer overflows when processing FLAC
+ media files that could lead to improper memory allocations resulting in
+ heap-based buffer overflows.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted FLAC
+ file or network stream with an application using FLAC. This might lead
+ to the execution of arbitrary code with privileges of the user playing
+ the file.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All FLAC users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-libs/flac-1.2.1-r1"</code>
+ <p>
+ You should also run revdep-rebuild to rebuild any packages that depend
+ on older versions of FLAC:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # revdep-rebuild --library=libFLAC.*</code>
