Publication date: 11 Feb 2017
Type: security
Affected Mageia releases : 5

Description

Chris Evans discovered that incorrect emulation of the SPC700 audio
co-processor of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System allows the
execution of arbitrary code if a malformed SPC music file is opened
(CVE-2016-9957, CVE-2016-9958, CVE-2016-9959, CVE-2016-9960,
CVE-2016-9961).

These issues were previously fixed in MGASA-2016-0428 in the
game-music-emu library, but audacious-plugins contains a decoder built
with a bundled copy, which has been patched to fix the issues.
