Alpine: multiple libmad packages: security update to 0.15.1b-r9

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 405226

Description

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)
