Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 5 vulnerabilities.
1) Out-of-bounds read
EUVDB-ID: #VU73932
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 4 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:U/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2021-3643
CWE-ID:
CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the lsx_adpcm_init() function in libsox. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.
MitigationCybersecurity Help is currently unaware of any official solution to address this vulnerability.
Vulnerable software versionsSoX: 12.16 - 14.4.2
