SB2018111905 - OpenSUSE Linux update for soundtouch

Description

This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.

1) 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.

2) Assertion failure (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-17096)

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:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to assertion failure in BPMDetect class in BPMDetect.cpp in libSoundTouch.a in Olli Parviainen SoundTouch. A remote attacker can send specially crafted input and cause the application exit, as demonstrated by SoundStretch.

3) Double-free error (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-17097)

CWE-ID: CWE-415 - Double Free

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

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to double-free error in WavFileBase class in WavFile.cpp in Olli Parviainen SoundTouch. A remote attacker can send specially crafted input and cause the application exit, as demonstrated by SoundStretch.

4) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-17098)

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

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

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to heap-based buffer overflow in WavFileBase class in WavFile.cpp in in Olli Parviainen SoundTouch. A remote attacker can send specially crafted input, trigger memory corruption and cause the application exit, as demonstrated by SoundStretch.
