NASL family Gentoo Local Security Checks NASL id GENTOO_GLSA-200904-15.NASL description The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200904-15 (mpg123: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code) The vendor reported a signedness error in the store_id3_text() function in id3.c, allowing for out-of-bounds memory access. Impact : A remote attacker could entice a user to open an MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 (MP3) file containing a specially crafted ID3 tag, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application. Workaround : There is no known workaround at this time. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 36176 published 2009-04-17 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2009-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/36176 title GLSA-200904-15 : mpg123: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code code #%NASL_MIN_LEVEL 80502 # # (C) Tenable Network Security, Inc. # # The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were # extracted from Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 200904-15. # # The advisory text is Copyright (C) 2001-2015 Gentoo Foundation, Inc. # and licensed under the Creative Commons - Attribution / Share Alike # license.
