Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical was found in flac123 0.0.9. Affected by this vulnerability is the function local__vcentry_parse_value of the file vorbiscomment.c. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a stack-based overflow vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-121. A stack-based buffer overflow condition is a condition where the buffer being overwritten is allocated on the stack (i.e., is a local variable or, rarely, a parameter to a function). As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Stack-based buffer overflow in the local__vcentry_parse_value function in vorbiscomment.c in flac123 (aka flac-tools or flac) before 0.0.10 allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a large comment value_length.

The bug was discovered 06/28/2007. The weakness was published 06/29/2007 by David Thiel as not defined posting (Bugtraq). The advisory is shared at securityfocus.com. This vulnerability is known as CVE-2007-3507 since 07/02/2007. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploitation doesn't need any form of authentication. Technical details are known, but no exploit is available.

It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 2 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $0-$5k. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 26096 (GLSA-200709-06 : flac123: Buffer overflow), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment.
