Description
This security bulletin contains information about 5 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-6892)
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.
2) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-17456)
The vulnerability allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.The weakness exists in the d2alaw_array() function due to out-of-bounds read. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted source code, trick the victim into opening it, trigger memory corruption and to cause the service to crash.
3) Out-of-bound read (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-17457)
The vulnerability allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.The weakness exists in the d2ulaw_array() function due to out-of-bounds read. A remote attacker send a specially crafted input, trigger memory corruption and cause the service to crash.
4) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-14246)
The vulnerability allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.The weakness exists in the d2ulaw_array() function due to improper handling of NAN and INFINITY floating-point values. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted input, trick the victim into opening it, trigger an out-of-bounds read and service to crash.
5) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-14245)
The vulnerability allows a remote unautheticated attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.The weakness exists in the d2alaw_array() function due to improper handling of NAN and INFINITY floating-point values. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted source code, trick the victim into opening it, trigger an out-of-bounds read and cause the service to crash.
