AdPlug Multiple Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA20972

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/20972/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
DoS, System access

WHERE:
From remote

SOFTWARE:
AdPlug 2.x
http://secunia.com/product/10910/

DESCRIPTION:
Luigi Auriemma has reported some vulnerabilities in AdPlug, which can
be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service)
and potentially compromise applications using the library.

The vulnerabilities are caused due to boundary errors in the
processing of media files. This can be exploited to cause a
heap-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted CFF file, to cause
heap-based buffer overflows via specially crafted MTK, DMO, and U6M
files, and to cause stack-based buffer overflows via specially
crafted DTM and S3M files.

The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 2.0. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Don't open untrusted files.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
