Synopsis
=======
A vulnerability in TunePimp has been reported which could lead to the
execution of arbitrary code.
Background
=========
The TunePimp library (also referred to as libtunepimp) is a development
library geared towards developers who wish to create MusicBrainz
enabled tagging applications.
Affected packages
================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 media-libs/tunepimp <= 0.4.2 Vulnerable!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: Certain packages are still vulnerable. Users should migrate
to another package if one is available or wait for the
existing packages to be marked stable by their
architecture maintainers.
Description
==========
Kevin Kofler has reported a vulnerability where three stack variables
are allocated with 255, 255 and 100 bytes respectively, yet 256 bytes
are read into each. This could lead to buffer overflows.
Impact
=====
Running an affected version of TunePimp could lead to the execution of
arbitrary code by a remote attacker.
Workaround
=========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
=========
TunePimp has been masked in Portage pending the resolution of these
issues. TunePimp users are advised to uninstall the package until
further notice:
# emerge --ask --unmerge "media-libs/tunepimp"
