Description
This security bulletin contains information about 9 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-13590)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error in libsox.a file. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted file, trick the victim into opening it and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
2) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-23159)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the lsx_read_w_buf() function in formats_i.c. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted file, trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and crash the application.
3) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-23172)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
4) Division by zero (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-23210)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a divide by zero error within the read_samples() function in voc.c. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted file and crash the application.
5) Division by zero (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-33844)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a divide by zero error within the startread() function in wav.c. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted file and crash the application.6) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-3643)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the lsx_adpcm_init() function in libsox. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.
7) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-40426)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the sphere.c start_read() functionality. A remote attacker can use a specially crafted file, trigger heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
8) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-31650)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a floating point exception in lsx_aiffstartwrite in aiff.c in libsox.a. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
9) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-31651)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to an assertion failure in rate_init in rate.c in libsox.a. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
