Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) Stack-based buffer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU14198
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 3.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-13139
CWE-ID:
CWE-121 - Stack-based buffer overflow
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The weakness exists due to stack-based buffer overflow in psf_memset in common.c. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted audio file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger memory corruption and cause the service to crash.
