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.

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

  - 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)

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

CVE-2017-8373: 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-2017-8374: 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.

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.
