- audiofile: Heap-based buffer overflow in readValue (CVE-2017-6828)
- Heap-based buffer overflow in the MSADPCM::initializeCoefficients function in MSADPCM.cpp in audiofile (aka libaudiofile and Audio File Library) 0.3.6 allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via a crafted audio file. (CVE-2017-6827)
- The decodeSample function in IMA.cpp in Audio File Library (aka audiofile) 0.3.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted file. (CVE-2017-6829)
- Heap-based buffer overflow in the alaw2linear_buf function in G711.cpp in Audio File Library (aka audiofile) 0.3.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted file.
(CVE-2017-6830)
- Heap-based buffer overflow in the decodeBlockWAVE function in IMA.cpp in Audio File Library (aka audiofile) 0.3.6, 0.3.5, 0.3.4, 0.3.3, 0.3.2, 0.3.1, 0.3.0 and 0.2.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted file. (CVE-2017-6831)
- Heap-based buffer overflow in the decodeBlock in MSADPCM.cpp in Audio File Library (aka audiofile) 0.3.6, 0.3.5, 0.3.4, 0.3.3, 0.3.2, 0.3.1, 0.3.0, 0.2.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted file. (CVE-2017-6832)
- The runPull function in libaudiofile/modules/BlockCodec.cpp in Audio File Library (aka audiofile) 0.3.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and crash) via a crafted file.
(CVE-2017-6833)
- Heap-based buffer overflow in the ulaw2linear_buf function in G711.cpp in Audio File Library (aka audiofile) 0.3.6, 0.3.5, 0.3.4, 0.3.3, 0.3.2, 0.3.1, 0.3.0, 0.2.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted file. (CVE-2017-6834)
- The reset1 function in libaudiofile/modules/BlockCodec.cpp in Audio File Library (aka audiofile) 0.3.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and crash) via a crafted file.
(CVE-2017-6835)
- Heap-based buffer overflow in the Expand3To4Module::run function in libaudiofile/modules/SimpleModule.h in Audio File Library (aka audiofile) 0.3.6, 0.3.5, 0.3.4, 0.3.3, 0.3.2, 0.3.1, 0.3.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted file. (CVE-2017-6836)
- WAVE.cpp in Audio File Library (aka audiofile) 0.3.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via vectors related to a large number of coefficients. (CVE-2017-6837)
- Integer overflow in sfcommands/sfconvert.c in Audio File Library (aka audiofile) 0.3.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted file. (CVE-2017-6838)
- Integer overflow in modules/MSADPCM.cpp in Audio File Library (aka audiofile) 0.3.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted file. (CVE-2017-6839)
- Heap buffer overflow vulnerability in FilePOSIX::read in File.cpp in audiofile 0.3.6 may cause denial-of- service via a crafted wav file, this bug can be triggered by the executable sfconvert. (CVE-2020-18781)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.
