Synopsis
========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Mumble, the worst of which
could lead to arbitrary code execution.

Background
==========
Mumble is low-latency voice chat software intended for use with gaming.

Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 media-sound/mumble < 1.2.6 >= 1.2.6

Description
===========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Mumble:

* A crafted length prefix value can trigger a heap-based buffer
overflow or NULL pointer dereference in the
opus_packet_get_samples_per_frame function (CVE-2014-0044)
* A crafted packet can trigger an error in the opus_decode_float
function, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2014-0045)
* A crafted SVG referencing local files can lead to resource exhaustion
or hangs (CVE-2014-3755)
* Mumble does not properly escape HTML in some external strings before
displaying them (CVE-2014-3756)

Impact
======
A remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the
privileges of the process or cause a Denial of Service condition.

Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========
All Mumble users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-sound/mumble-1.2.6"
