Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Amarok 1.4.10/2.0/2.0.1. It has been classified as critical. This affects the function Audible::Tag::readTag. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a numeric error vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-189. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Multiple array index errors in the Audible::Tag::readTag function in metadata/audible/audibletag.cpp in Amarok 1.4.10 through 2.0.1 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or execute arbitrary code via an Audible Audio (.aa) file with a crafted (1) nlen or (2) vlen Tag value, each of which can lead to an invalid pointer dereference, or the writing of a 0x00 byte to an arbitrary memory location, after an allocation failure.

The bug was discovered 01/11/2009. The weakness was presented 01/16/2009 by Tobias Klein (Website). The advisory is shared at redhat.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2009-0136 since 01/16/2009. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. 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 4 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $0-$5k. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 35383 (Debian DSA-1706-1 : amarok - integer overflows), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Debian Local Security Checks and running in the context l. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 116154 (Debian Update for Amarok (DSA-1706-1)).

Upgrading eliminates this vulnerability. A possible mitigation has been published even before and not after the disclosure of the vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (47877), Tenable (35383), SecurityFocus (BID 33210†), OSVDB (53459†) and Secunia (SA34315†). See VDB-45932 for similar entry. If you want to get the best quality for vulnerability data then you always have to consider VulDB.
