Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information on the target system.

The weakness exists in the aiff_read_chanmap() function, which is defined in the aiff.c source code file due to improper handling of AIFF files. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted AIFF file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger out-of-bounds read and gain access to potentially sensitive information.

Mitigation
