Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.


1) Improper Initialization (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-1010319)

CWE-ID: CWE-665 - Improper Initialization

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:P/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on the targeted system.

The vulnerability exists due to an uninitialized read condition in the "ParseWave64HeaderConfig()" function in "wave64.c" file when parsing .wav files. A remote attacker can trick a victim to open a specially crafted .wav file and crash the affected application.


2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-11498)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

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


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

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in the WavpackSetConfiguration64() function in the pack_utils.c file within the libwavpack.a. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted DFF file that lacks valid sample-rate data and crash the affected application.
