Summary

Integer overflow in the INT123_parse_new_id3 function in the ID3 parser in mpg123 before 1.25.5 on 32-bit platforms allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted file, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Forced Integer Overflow
    This attack forces an integer variable to go out of range. The integer variable is often used as an offset such as size of memory allocation or similarly. The attacker would typically control the value of such variable and try to get it out of range. For instance the integer in question is incremented past the maximum possible value, it may wrap to become a very small, or negative number, therefore providing a very incorrect value which can lead to unexpected behavior. At worst the attacker can execute arbitrary code.

descriptionThis update for mpg123 fixes the following issues : - Update to version 1.25.6 - Hotfix for bug 255: Overflow reading frame data bits in layer II decoding. Now, all-zero data is returned if the frame data is exhausted. This might have a slight impact on performance, but not easily measurable so far. - Update to version 1.25.5 - Avoid another buffer read overflow in the ID3 parser on 32 bit platforms (bug 254). (CVE-2017-12797/boo#1056999) - Update to version 1.25.4 libmpg123 : - Prevent harmless call to memcpy(NULL, NULL, 0). - More early checking of ID3v2 encoding values to avoid bogus text being stored.
