Description

This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.


1) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-9258)

CWE-ID: CWE-835 - Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop')

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Green


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

The TDStretch::processSamples function in source/SoundTouch/TDStretch.cpp in SoundTouch 1.9.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and CPU consumption) via a crafted wav file.


2) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-9259)

CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Green


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

The TDStretch::acceptNewOverlapLength function in source/SoundTouch/TDStretch.cpp in SoundTouch 1.9.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory allocation error and application crash) via a crafted wav file.


3) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-9260)

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Green


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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in The TDStretchSSE::calcCrossCorr function in source/SoundTouch/sse_optimized.cpp in SoundTouch 1.9.2. A remote attacker can perform a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read and application crash) via a crafted wav file.
