Alpine: multiple wavpack packages: security update to 5.1.0-r5 (deprecated)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 400696

Description

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

- An issue was discovered in WavPack 5.1.0 and earlier. The WAV parser component contains a vulnerability
that allows writing to memory because ParseRiffHeaderConfig in riff.c does not reject multiple format
chunks. (CVE-2018-10536)

- An issue was discovered in WavPack 5.1.0 and earlier. The W64 parser component contains a vulnerability
that allows writing to memory because ParseWave64HeaderConfig in wave64.c does not reject multiple format
chunks. (CVE-2018-10537)

- An issue was discovered in WavPack 5.1.0 and earlier for WAV input. Out-of-bounds writes can occur because
ParseRiffHeaderConfig in riff.c does not validate the sizes of unknown chunks before attempting memory
allocation, related to a lack of integer-overflow protection within a bytes_to_copy calculation and
subsequent malloc call, leading to insufficient memory allocation. (CVE-2018-10538)

- An issue was discovered in WavPack 5.1.0 and earlier for DSDiff input. Out-of-bounds writes can occur
because ParseDsdiffHeaderConfig in dsdiff.c does not validate the sizes of unknown chunks before
attempting memory allocation, related to a lack of integer-overflow protection within a bytes_to_copy
calculation and subsequent malloc call, leading to insufficient memory allocation. (CVE-2018-10539)

- An issue was discovered in WavPack 5.1.0 and earlier for W64 input. Out-of-bounds writes can occur because
ParseWave64HeaderConfig in wave64.c does not validate the sizes of unknown chunks before attempting memory
allocation, related to a lack of integer-overflow protection within a bytes_to_copy calculation and
subsequent malloc call, leading to insufficient memory allocation. (CVE-2018-10540)
