EUVDB-ID: #VU11323

Risk: High

CVSSv4.0: 8.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Amber]

CVE-ID: CVE-2012-4552

CWE-ID: CWE-121 - Stack-based buffer overflow

Exploit availability: Yes

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The weakness exists in the error function in ssg/ssgParser.cxx due to boundary error. A remote attacker can trigger stack-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system via a specially crafted 3d model file that triggers a long error message, as demonstrated by a .ase file.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.
media-libs/plib to version: 1.8.5-r1

Vulnerable software versions

Gentoo Linux: All versions
