The ruby handlers in the Magnatune component in Amarok do not properly quote text in certain contexts, probably including construction of an unzip command line, which allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters.

amarok: temporary file vulnerability via symlink attacks (priv esc)

The MagnatuneBrowser::listDownloadComplete function in magnatunebrowser/magnatunebrowser.cpp in Amarok before 1.4.10 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the album_info.xml temporary file.

Multiple integer overflows in the Audible::Tag::readTag function in metadata/audible/audibletag.cpp in Amarok 1.4.10 through 2.0.1 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an Audible Audio (.aa) file with a large (1) nlen or (2) vlen Tag value, each of which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.

Multiple array index errors in the Audible::Tag::readTag function in metadata/audible/audibletag.cpp in Amarok 1.4.10 through 2.0.1 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or execute arbitrary code via an Audible Audio (.aa) file with a crafted (1) nlen or (2) vlen Tag value, each of which can lead to an invalid pointer dereference, or the writing of a 0x00 byte to an arbitrary memory location, after an allocation failure.
