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.

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)

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 / openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:3782-1 advisory.

    - CVE-2017-8373: Fixed heap-based buffer overflow in mad_layer_III (bsc#1036968).
      - CVE-2017-8372: Fixed assertion failure in layer3.c (bsc#1036969).

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora update system website.
Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in MAD, an MPEG audio decoder library, which could result in denial of service if a malformed audio file is processed.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 0.15.1b-7+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your libmad packages.
