Synopsis ========
AlsaPlayer is vulnerable to multiple buffer overflows which could lead to the execution of arbitrary code.
Background ==========
AlsaPlayer is a heavily multithreaded PCM player that tries to utilize ALSA utilities and drivers. As of June 2004, the project is inactive.
Affected packages =================
------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 media-sound/alsaplayer <= 0.99.76-r3 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 ===========
AlsaPlayer contains three buffer overflows: in the function that handles the HTTP connections, the GTK interface, and the CDDB querying mechanism.
Impact ======
An attacker could exploit the first vulnerability by enticing a user to load a malicious URL resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running AlsaPlayer.
Workaround ==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution ==========
AlsaPlayer has been masked in Portage pending the resolution of these issues. AlsaPlayer users are advised to uninstall the package until further notice:
# emerge --ask --unmerge "media-sound/alsaplayer"
References ==========
