DESCRIPTION:
David Thiel has reported some vulnerabilities in libvorbis, which can
be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service)
and potentially compromise an application using the library.
1) A boundary error exists in the way the "_01inverse()" function in
res.c processes "blocksize_0" and "blocksize_1" values, which can be
exploited to cause a heap overwrite.
2) A boundary error exists in the way the "vorbis_info_clear()"
function in info.c processes invalid mapping types, which can be
exploited to trigger a call to a value outside the dispatch table.
3) Invalid "blocksize" values passed to the "vorbis_dsp_clear()"
function in block.c result in an invalid memory access, which can be
exploited to cause a DoS.
The vulnerabilities are reported in version 1.1.2. Prior versions may
also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.2.0.
