Date: June 26, 2016
Bugs: #395553
ID: 201606-16
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
Synopsis
========
A buffer overflow in PLIB might allow remote attackers to execute
arbitrary code.
Background
==========
PLIB includes sound effects, music, a complete 3D engine, font
rendering, a simple Windowing library, a game scripting language, a
GUI, networking, 3D math library and a collection of handy utility
functions.
Affected packages
=================
——————————————————————-
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
——————————————————————-
1 media-libs/plib < 1.8.5-r1 >= 1.8.5-r1
Description
===========
A buffer overflow in PLIB allows user-assisted remote attackers to
execute arbitrary code via vectors involving a long error message, as
demonstrated by a crafted acc file for TORCS.
Impact
======
Remote attackers could execute arbitrary code with the privileges of
the process.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All PLIB users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge –sync
# emerge –ask –verbose –oneshot “>=media-libs/plib-1.8.5-r1”
