From marcdeslauriers@videotron.ca Thu Sep 15 21:10:05 2005 From: Marc Deslauriers To: bugtraq@securityfocus.com, full-disclosure@lists.grok.org.uk Date: Thu, 15 Sep 2005 21:09:30 -0400 Subject: [Full-disclosure] [FLSA-2005:152919] Updated grip package fixes security issue --------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Legacy Update Advisory Synopsis: Updated grip package fixes security issue Advisory ID: FLSA:152919 Issue date: 2005-09-15 Product: Red Hat Linux, Fedora Core Keywords: Bugfix CVE Names: CAN-2005-0706 --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Topic: A new grip package is available that fixes a remote buffer overflow. Grip is a GTK+ based front-end for CD rippers (such as cdparanoia and cdda2wav) and Ogg Vorbis encoders. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Linux 7.3 - i386 Red Hat Linux 9 - i386 Fedora Core 1 - i386 3. Problem description: Dean Brettle discovered a buffer overflow bug in the way grip handles data returned by CDDB servers. It is possible that if a user connects to a malicious CDDB server, an attacker could execute arbitrary code on the victim's machine. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2005-0706 to this issue. Users of grip should upgrade to this updated package, which contains a backported patch, and is not vulnerable to this issue. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied. To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run: rpm -Fvh [filenames] where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the desired RPMs. Please note that this update is also available via yum and apt. Many people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use yum issue: yum update or to use apt: apt-get update; apt-get upgrade This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate RPMs being upgraded on your system. This assumes that you have yum or apt-get configured for obtaining Fedora Legacy content. Please visit http://www.fedoralegacy.org/docs for directions on how to configure yum and apt-get. 5.
