S-294: libvorbis Security Update

[Red Hat RHSA-2008:0270-5]

May 15, 2008 20:00 GMT
[REVISED 5 Jun 2008]

PROBLEM: Several flaws werer reported in the way libvorbis processed audio data.
PLATFORM: RHEL Desktop Workstation (v. 5 client)
Red Hat Desktop (v. 3, v. 4)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS, ES, WS (v. 3, v. 4)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 client)
Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 (etch)
DAMAGE: Execute arbitrary code.
SOLUTION: Upgrade to the appropriate version.

VULNERABILITY
ASSESSMENT:
The risk is MEDIUM. An attacker could create a carefully crafted OGG audio file in such a way that it could cause an application linked with libvorbis to crash, or execute arbitrary code when it was opened.

Details

Updated libvorbis packages that fix various security issues are now
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, 4, and 5.

This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red
Hat Security Response Team.

The libvorbis packages contain runtime libraries for use in programs that
support Ogg Vorbis. Ogg Vorbis is a fully open, non-proprietary, patent-and
royalty-free, general-purpose compressed audio format.

Will Drewry of the Google Security Team reported several flaws in the way
libvorbis processed audio data. An attacker could create a carefully
crafted OGG audio file in such a way that it could cause an application
linked with libvorbis to crash, or execute arbitrary code when it was
opened. (CVE-2008-1419, CVE-2008-1420, CVE-2008-1423)

Moreover, additional OGG file sanity-checks have been added to prevent
possible exploitation of similar issues in the future.

Users of libvorbis are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain backported patches to resolve these issues.


Solution

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
