SB2018081452 - Fedora 27 update for soundtouch

Description

This security bulletin contains information about 3 secuirty vulnerabilities.

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

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)

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)

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.
