Description

This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.


1) Reachable Assertion (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-14044)

CWE-ID: CWE-617 - Reachable Assertion

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


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

The RateTransposer::setChannels function in RateTransposer.cpp in libSoundTouch.a in Olli Parviainen SoundTouch 2.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and application exit), as demonstrated by SoundStretch.


2) Reachable Assertion (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-14045)

CWE-ID: CWE-617 - Reachable Assertion

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


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

The FIRFilter::evaluateFilterMulti function in FIRFilter.cpp in libSoundTouch.a in Olli Parviainen SoundTouch 2.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and application exit), as demonstrated by SoundStretch.


3) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-1000223)

CWE-ID: CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists in the WavInFile::readHeaderBlock() function, as defined in the SoundStretch/WavFile.cpp file due to the use of a signed integer instead of an unsigned integer when the size of a structure is calculated. A remote unauthenticated attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted file with the SoundStretch utility that submits malicious input, trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
