Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.


1) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-14521)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.

An issue was discovered in aubio 0.4.6. A SEGV signal can occur in aubio_source_avcodec_readframe in io/source_avcodec.c, as demonstrated by aubiomfcc.


2) Division by zero (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-17054)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a divide by zero error in the new_aubio_source_wavread() function in source_wavread.c file while playing a crafted audio file. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted file to the affected application, trigger division by zero error and crash the affected application.
