Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The remote Debian 10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5109 advisory.

- There is a stack-based buffer overflow in the third instance of the calculate_gain function in libfaad/sbr_hfadj.c in Freeware Advanced Audio Decoder 2 (FAAD2) 2.8.8. A crafted input will lead to a denial of service or possibly unspecified other impact because the S_M array is mishandled.
(CVE-2018-20196)

- A NULL pointer dereference was discovered in ifilter_bank of libfaad/filtbank.c in Freeware Advanced Audio Decoder 2 (FAAD2) 2.8.8. The vulnerability causes a segmentation fault and application crash, which leads to denial of service because adding to windowed output is mishandled in the ONLY_LONG_SEQUENCE case.
(CVE-2018-20199)

- An invalid memory address dereference was discovered in the sbr_process_channel function of libfaad/sbr_dec.c in Freeware Advanced Audio Decoder 2 (FAAD2) 2.8.8. The vulnerability causes a segmentation fault and application crash, which leads to denial of service. (CVE-2018-20360)

- An issue was discovered in Freeware Advanced Audio Decoder 2 (FAAD2) 2.8.8. It is a buffer over-read in ps_mix_phase in libfaad/ps_dec.c. (CVE-2019-6956)

- An issue was discovered in faad2 before 2.10.0. A heap-buffer-overflow exists in the function stszin located in mp4read.c. It allows an attacker to cause Code Execution. (CVE-2021-32272)

- An issue was discovered in faad2 through 2.10.0. A stack-buffer-overflow exists in the function ftypin located in mp4read.c. It allows an attacker to cause Code Execution. (CVE-2021-32273)

- An issue was discovered in faad2 through 2.10.0. A heap-buffer-overflow exists in the function sbr_qmf_synthesis_64 located in sbr_qmf.c. It allows an attacker to cause code Execution. (CVE-2021-32274)

- An issue was discovered in faad2 through 2.10.0. A NULL pointer dereference exists in the function get_sample() located in output.c. It allows an attacker to cause Denial of Service. (CVE-2021-32276)

- An issue was discovered in faad2 through 2.10.0. A heap-buffer-overflow exists in the function sbr_qmf_analysis_32 located in sbr_qmf.c. It allows an attacker to cause code Execution. (CVE-2021-32277)

- An issue was discovered in faad2 through 2.10.0. A heap-buffer-overflow exists in the function lt_prediction located in lt_predict.c. It allows an attacker to cause code Execution. (CVE-2021-32278)

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

Solution

Upgrade the faad2 packages.
