libmusicbrainz: Multiple buffer overflows

libmusicbrainz: Multiple buffer overflows Multiple buffer overflows have been found in libmusicbrainz, which could lead to a Denial of Service or possibly the execution of arbitrary code. libmusicbrainz 2006-10-22 2006-10-22: 01 144089 remote 2.1.4 2.1.4

libmusicbrainz is a client library used to access MusicBrainz music meta data.

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.

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.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All libmusicbrainz users should upgrade to the latest version:


    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/musicbrainz-2.1.4"
