Synopsis
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Multiple buffer overflows have been found in libmusicbrainz, which
could lead to a Denial of Service or possibly the execution of
arbitrary code.
Background
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
libmusicbrainz is a client library used to access MusicBrainz music
meta data.
Affected packages
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected

1 media-libs/musicbrainz < 2.1.4 >=3D 2.1.4=
Description
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Luigi Auriemma reported a possible buffer overflow in the
MBHttp::Download function of lib/http.cpp as well as several possible
buffer overflows in lib/rdfparse.c.
Impact
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
A remote attacker could be able to execute arbitrary code or cause
Denial of Service by making use of an overly long "Location" header in
an HTTP redirect message from a malicious server or a long URL in
malicious RDF feeds.
Workaround
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
All libmusicbrainz users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=3Dmedia-libs/musicbrainz-2.1.4=
"
