This security bulletin contains information about 5 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-3643)

The 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.


2) Division by zero (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-33844)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a divide by zero error within the startread() function in wav.c. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted file and crash the application.

3) Division by zero (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-23210)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a divide by zero error within the read_samples() function in voc.c. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted file and crash the application.


4) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-23172)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the startread() function in hcom.c. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted file, trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and crash the application.

5) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-23159)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the lsx_read_w_buf() function in formats_i.c. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted file, trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and crash the application.
