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

The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow in lsx_make_lpf in effect_i_dsp.c when handling malicious input. A remote attacker can trick the victim into executing a file that submits malicious input to the targeted system with the sox command, trigger a heap-based buffer overflow condition and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
