Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.870621
Category:Red Hat Local Security Checks
Title:RedHat Update for libsndfile RHSA-2011:1084-01
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'libsndfile'; package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'libsndfile'
package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
The libsndfile packages provide a library for reading and writing sound
files.

An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was
found in the way the libsndfile library processed certain Ensoniq PARIS
Audio Format (PAF) audio files. An attacker could create a
specially-crafted PAF file that, when opened, could cause an application
using libsndfile to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the
privileges of the user running the application. (CVE-2011-2696)

Users of libsndfile are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain a backported patch to correct this issue. All running applications
using libsndfile must be restarted for the update to take effect.

Affected Software/OS:
libsndfile on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 6),
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 6),
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (v. 6)

Solution:
Please Install the Updated Packages.
