Debian Security Advisory DSA-1972-2 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Stefan Fritsch
January 21, 2010 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : audiofile
Vulnerability : buffer overflow
Problem type : local (remote)
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id : CVE-2008-5824
Debian bug : 510205

This advisory adds the packages for the old stable distribution (etch),
with the exception of the mips packages. The updates for the mips
architecture will be released when they become available.

The packages for the stable distribution (lenny) have been released
in DSA-1972-1. For reference, the advisory text is provided below.

Max Kellermann discovered a heap-based buffer overflow in the handling
of ADPCM WAV files in libaudiofile. This flaw could result in a denial
of service (application crash) or possibly execution of arbitrary code
via a crafted WAV file.

The old stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
version 0.2.6-6+etch1.

For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
version 0.2.6-7+lenny1.

For the testing distribution (squeeze) and the unstable distribution
(sid), this problem has been fixed in version 0.2.6-7.1.

We recommend that you upgrade your audiofile packages.
