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. CVSS Score: 6.8 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P |
