Updated on: 2005-03-28
Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux
CVE Names: CAN-2005-0706
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Summary:
A new grip package is available that fixes a remote buffer overflow.
This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat
Security Response Team.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (Advanced Server) version 2.1 - i386, ia64
Red Hat Linux Advanced Workstation 2.1 - ia64

3. Problem description:
Grip is a GTK+ based front-end for CD rippers (such as cdparanoia and
cdda2wav) and Ogg Vorbis encoders.
Dean Brettle discovered a buffer overflow bug in the way grip handles data
returned by CDDB servers. It is possible that if a user connects to a
malicious CDDB server, an attacker could execute arbitrary code on the
victim's machine. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
(cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2005-0706 to this issue.
Users of grip should upgrade to this updated package, which
contains a backported patch, and is not vulnerable to this issue.
4. Solution:
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied. Use Red Hat
