high Nessus Plugin ID 183168

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4826-1 advisory.

 - The TDStretch::processSamples function in source/SoundTouch/TDStretch.cpp in SoundTouch 1.9.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and CPU consumption) via a crafted wav file.
 (CVE-2017-9258)

 - The TDStretch::acceptNewOverlapLength function in source/SoundTouch/TDStretch.cpp in SoundTouch 1.9.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory allocation error and application crash) via a crafted wav file. (CVE-2017-9259)

 - The TDStretchSSE::calcCrossCorr function in source/SoundTouch/sse_optimized.cpp in SoundTouch 1.9.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read and application crash) via a crafted wav file. (CVE-2017-9260)

 - soundtouch version up to and including 2.0.0 contains a Buffer Overflow vulnerability in SoundStretch/WavFile.cpp:WavInFile::readHeaderBlock() that can result in arbitrary code execution. This attack appear to be exploitable via victim must open maliocius file in soundstretch utility.
 (CVE-2018-1000223)

 - The BPMDetect class in BPMDetect.cpp in libSoundTouch.a in Olli Parviainen SoundTouch 2.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and application exit), as demonstrated by SoundStretch. (CVE-2018-17096)

 - The WavFileBase class in WavFile.cpp in Olli Parviainen SoundTouch 2.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (double free) or possibly have unspecified other impact, as demonstrated by SoundStretch. (CVE-2018-17097)

 - The WavFileBase class in WavFile.cpp in Olli Parviainen SoundTouch 2.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap corruption from size inconsistency) or possibly have unspecified other impact, as demonstrated by SoundStretch. (CVE-2018-17098)

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

Solution

Update the affected libsoundtouch-dev, libsoundtouch1 and / or soundstretch packages.
