The vulnerability allows a local attacker to cause DoS condition or execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The weakness exists in the WAV parser component due to improper rejection of multiple format chunks by the ParseRiffHeaderConfig function, as defined in the riff.c source code file. A local attacker can execute a specially crafted .wav file, trigger heap buffer overwrite and cause the service to crash or execute arbitrary code.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.
