The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4704-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that libsndfile incorrectly handled certain malformed files. A remote attacker could use     this issue to cause libsndfile to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary     code. (CVE-2017-12562)

    It was discovered that libsndfile incorrectly handled certain malformed files. A remote attacker could use     this issue to cause libsndfile to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary     code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 ESM. (CVE-2017-14245, CVE-2017-14246, CVE-2017-14634,     CVE-2017-16942, CVE-2017-6892, CVE-2018-13139, CVE-2018-19432, CVE-2018-19661, CVE-2018-19662,     CVE-2018-19758, CVE-2019-3832)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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

It was found that the fix for CVE-2018-19758 was incomplete. That has been addressed in this update. The description for CVE-2018-19758 follows :

A heap-buffer-overflow vulnerability was discovered in libsndfile, the library for reading and writing files containing sampled sound. This flaw might be triggered by remote attackers to cause denial of service (out of bounds read and application crash).

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 1.0.25-9.1+deb8u4.

We recommend that you upgrade your libsndfile packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - It was discovered the fix for CVE-2018-19758 (libsndfile) was not complete and still allows a read beyond     the limits of a buffer in wav_write_header() function in wav.c. A local attacker may use this flaw to make     the application crash. (CVE-2019-3832)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202007-65 (libsndfile: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in libsndfile. Please       review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.

    Please review the referenced CVE identifiers for details.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

According to the version of the libsndfile package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

  - It was discovered the fix for CVE-2018-19758     (libsndfile) was not complete and still allows a read     beyond the limits of a buffer in wav_write_header()     function in wav.c. A local attacker may use this flaw     to make the application crash.(CVE-2019-3832)

Several issues have been found in libsndfile, a library for reading/writing audio files. All issues are basically divide by zero errors, heap read overflows or other buffer overlow errors.

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 1.0.27-3+deb9u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your libsndfile packages.
