Author: David Thiel <david[at]isecpartners[dot]com>
Vendor notified: 2007-06-05
Public release: 2007-07-26
Advisory URL: http://www.isecpartners.com/advisories/2007-003-libvorbis.txt
Summary:
--------
libvorbis 1.1.2 contains several vulnerabilities allowing heap overwrite,
read violations and a function pointer overwrite. These bugs cause a
at least a denial of service, and potentially code execution.
Details:
--------
Invalid blocksize_0 and blocksize_1 values result in a heap overwrite in
the _01inverse() function of res0.c.
An invalid mapping type causes an out of bounds dispatch table
lookup, offset by an attacker-controlled value, during cleanup in
vorbis_info_clear() in info.c.
Additionally, invalid blocksize values cause a segmentation fault on
read in block.c.
Fix Information:
----------------
These issues are resolved in libvorbis 1.2.0, available at:
http://downloads.xiph.org/releases/vorbis/libvorbis-1.2.0.tar.bz2
Thanks to:
----------
Ralph Giles and Xiphmont of Xiph.org for their detailed help determining
root causes of and fixes for these issues.
