Description Alexander Bergmann 2014-04-23 07:26:59 UTC 
CVE-2014-2892 was assigned to this issue.

Description:
(http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/92640)

libmms is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking by the get_answer() function. By sending an overly long string, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system or cause the application to crash.

Affected:
openSUSE:12.3                  libmms-0.6.2
openSUSE:13.1                  libmms-0.6.2

Upstream Fix:

Comment 2 Stanislav Brabec 2014-04-23 17:36:07 UTC 
For openSUSE 12.3 and 13.1: created OBS maintenance request id 231188.
For openSUSE:Factory: created OBS request id 231189 to multimedia:libs.
For SUSE:SLE-12:GA: created IBS request id 36678.
I do not see this package in SLE10 and SLE11.

Looking at the ChangeLog, it could also be safe to do version update for SLE12.
