Cheese Tracker: Buffer Overflow

Cheese Tracker: Buffer Overflow Cheese Tracker contains a buffer overflow allowing the remote execution of arbitrary code. cheesetracker October 26, 2006 October 26, 2006: 01 142391 remote 0.9.9-r1 0.9.9-r1

Cheese Tracker is a Qt-based portable Impulse Tracker clone, a music tracker for the CT, IT, XM and S3M file formats.

Luigi Auriemma reported that the XM loader of Cheese Tracker contains a buffer overflow vulnerability in the loader_XM::load_intrument_internal() function from loaders/loader_xm.cpp.

An attacker could execute arbitrary code with the rights of the user running Cheese Tracker by enticing a user to load a crafted file with large amount of extra data.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All Cheese Tracker users should upgrade to the latest version:


    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-sound/cheesetracker-0.9.9-r1"
