mpg321.c in mpg321 0.3.2-1 does not properly manage memory for use with libmad 0.15.1b, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption seen in a crash in the mad_decoder_run function in decoder.c in libmad) via a crafted MP3 file.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - mpg321.c in mpg321 0.3.2-1 does not properly manage memory for use with libmad 0.15.1b, which allows     remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption seen in a crash in the mad_decoder_run     function in decoder.c in libmad) via a crafted MP3 file. (CVE-2017-11552)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

  - The mad_layer_III function in layer3.c in Underbit MAD libmad 0.15.1b, if NDEBUG is omitted, allows remote
    attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and application exit) via a crafted audio file.
    (CVE-2017-8372)

  - The mad_layer_III function in layer3.c in Underbit MAD libmad 0.15.1b allows remote attackers to cause a
    denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other
    impact via a crafted audio file. (CVE-2017-8373)

  - The mad_bit_skip function in bit.c in Underbit MAD libmad 0.15.1b allows remote attackers to cause a
    denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read and application crash) via a crafted audio file.
    (CVE-2017-8374)

  - mpg321.c in mpg321 0.3.2-1 does not properly manage memory for use with libmad 0.15.1b, which allows
    remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption seen in a crash in the mad_decoder_run
    function in decoder.c in libmad) via a crafted MP3 file. (CVE-2017-11552)

  - The mad_decoder_run() function in decoder.c in Underbit libmad through 0.15.1b allows remote attackers to
    cause a denial of service (SIGABRT because of double free or corruption) or possibly have unspecified
    other impact via a crafted file. NOTE: this may overlap CVE-2017-11552. (CVE-2018-7263)
