Gentoo Linux Security Advisory
Title: Grip: CDDB response overflow (GLSA 200503-21)
Severity: normal
Exploitable: remote
Date: March 17, 2005
Bug(s): #84704
ID: 200503-21
Synopsis
Grip contains a buffer overflow that can be triggered by a large CDDB
response, potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code.
Background
Grip is a GTK+ based audio CD player/ripper.
Affected Packages
Package: media-sound/grip
Vulnerable: < 3.3.0
Unaffected: >= 3.3.0
Architectures: All supported architectures
Description
Joseph VanAndel has discovered a buffer overflow in Grip when
processing large CDDB results.
Impact
A malicious CDDB server could cause Grip to crash by returning
more then 16 matches, potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary
code with the privileges of the user running the application.
Workaround
Disable automatic CDDB queries, but we highly encourage users to
upgrade to 3.3.0.
Resolution
All Grip users should upgrade to the latest version:
Code: | # emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-sound/grip-3.3.0" |
