Mandriva Advisories MDKSA-2006:117 : libmms

 

Updated libmms packages fix buffer overflow vulnerability

July 6th, 2006

 

Stack-based buffer overflow in MiMMS 0.0.9 allows remote attackers to cause

 

a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code

 

via the (1) send_command, (2) string_utf16, (3) get_data, and (4)

 

get_media_packet functions, and possibly other functions. Libmms uses the

 

same vulnerable code.

 

 

 

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

 

 

The released versions of Mandriva GNU/Linux affected are:

• 2006.0
