Alpine: multiple wavpack packages: security update to 5.1.0-r3

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 427478

Description

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

- A stack-based buffer over-read in the ParseRiffHeaderConfig function of cli/riff.c file of WavPack 5.1.0
allows a remote attacker to cause a denial-of-service attack or possibly have unspecified other impact via
a maliciously crafted RF64 file. (CVE-2018-6767)

- The ParseDsdiffHeaderConfig function of the cli/dsdiff.c file of WavPack 5.1.0 allows a remote attacker to
cause a denial-of-service (heap-based buffer over-read) or possibly overwrite the heap via a maliciously
crafted DSDIFF file. (CVE-2018-7253)

- The ParseCaffHeaderConfig function of the cli/caff.c file of WavPack 5.1.0 allows a remote attacker to
cause a denial-of-service (global buffer over-read), or possibly trigger a buffer overflow or incorrect
memory allocation, via a maliciously crafted CAF file. (CVE-2018-7254)

- The function WavpackPackInit in pack_utils.c in libwavpack.a in WavPack through 5.1.0 allows attackers to
cause a denial-of-service (resource exhaustion caused by an infinite loop) via a crafted wav audio file
because WavpackSetConfiguration64 mishandles a sample rate of zero. (CVE-2018-19840)

- The function WavpackVerifySingleBlock in open_utils.c in libwavpack.a in WavPack through 5.1.0 allows
attackers to cause a denial-of-service (out-of-bounds read and application crash) via a crafted WavPack
Lossless Audio file, as demonstrated by wvunpack. (CVE-2018-19841)
