Debian Security Advisory DSA-1442-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Moritz Muehlenhoff
December 29, 2007 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : libsndfile
Vulnerability : buffer overflow
Problem type : local(remote)
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s) : CVE-2007-4974
Rubert Buchholz discovered that libsndfile, a library for reading /
writing audio files performs insufficient boundary checks when
processing FLAC files, which might lead to the execution of arbitrary
code.
For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.0.16-2.
The old stable distribution (sarge) is not affected by this problem.
We recommend that you upgrade your libsndfile packages.
Upgrade instructions
- --------------------

apt-get upgrade
will install corrected packages
You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
Debian 4.0 (stable)
- -------------------
Stable updates are available for alpha, amd64, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390 and sparc.
