abcm2ps is a program to convert abc files to Postscript files.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in abcm2ps:

Boundary errors in the PUT0 and PUT1 macros, the trim_title() function, or a long "-O" command line option can lead to a buffer overflow (CVE-2010-3441).
A vulnerability in the getarena() function in abc2ps.c can cause a heap-based buffer overflow in abcm2ps (CVE-2010-4743).
Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities (CVE-2010-4744).

A remote attacker could entice a user to load a specially crafted ABC file or use a long -O option on the command line, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All abcm2ps users should upgrade to the latest stable version:


      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-sound/abcm2ps-5.9.13"
