Recommended Posts

Multiple buffer overflows in libmusicbrainz (aka mb_client or

MusicBrainz Client Library) 2.1.2 and earlier, and SVN 8406 and

earlier, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash)

or execute arbitrary code via (1) a long Location header by the HTTP

server, which triggers an overflow in the MBHttp::Download function in

lib/http.cpp; and (2) a long URL in RDF data, as demonstrated by a URL

in an rdf:resource field in an RDF XML document, which triggers

overflows in many functions in lib/rdfparse.c.

 

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
