medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 407551

Description

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

 - 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)
