Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
EUVDB-ID: #VU10569
Risk: High
CVSSv3.1: 8.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2017-14632
CWE-ID:
CWE-119 - Memory corruption
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The weakness exists due to freeing uninitialized memory in the function vorbis_analysis_headerout() in info.c when vi->channels<=0. A remote attacker can supply specially crafted files, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
Update the affected package lib32-libvorbis to version 1.3.6-1.
Vulnerable software versionsArch Linux: All versions

Q & A
Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?
Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote non-authenticated attacker via the Internet.
Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?
No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.
EUVDB-ID: #VU10571
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 3.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2017-14633
CWE-ID:
CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The weakness exists in the function mapping0_forward() in mapping0.c due to out-of-bounds array read. A remote attacker can send the specially crafted audio file, trick the victim into operating it with vorbis_analysis() and cause the application to crash.
Update the affected package lib32-libvorbis to version 1.3.6-1.

EUVDB-ID: #VU11140
Risk: High
CVSSv3.1: 8.3 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-5146
CWE-ID:
CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to boundary error when processing Vorbis audio within libvorbis library. A remote unauthenticated attacker can create a specially crafted HTML page, trick the victim into opening it, trigger out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
MitigationUpdate the affected package lib32-libvorbis to version 1.3.6-1.
