 Package : audiofile Version : 0.3.6-5+deb11u1 CVE ID : CVE-2019-13147 CVE-2022-24599


 The audiofile library allows the processing of audio data to and from audio files of many common formats (currently AIFF, AIFF-C, WAVE, NeXT/Sun, BICS, and raw data).

 CVE-2019-13147

 Audiofile was vulnerable due to an integer overflow.
 Bail out early if NeXT audio files include too many channels.

 CVE-2022-24599

 A memory leak was found due to reading not null terminated copyright field. Preallocate zeroed memory and always NUL terminates C strings.


 For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version 0.3.6-5+deb11u1.

 We recommend that you upgrade your audiofile packages.
