Description
This security bulletin contains information about 4 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) 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.
2) Assertion failure (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-17096)
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)
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)
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.
