Description
This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.
1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-17456)
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:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
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.
2) Out-of-bound read (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-17457)
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:U/U:Clear
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.
3) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-13139)
CWE-ID: CWE-121 - Stack-based buffer overflow
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The weakness exists due to stack-based buffer overflow in psf_memset in common.c. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted audio file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger memory corruption and cause the service to crash.
4) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-14246)
CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:L/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
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.
