The read_code function in read_words.c in Wavpack before 5.1.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a crafted WV file.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - wavpack: out of bounds write in ParseRiffHeaderConfig in riff.c (CVE-2018-10536)

  - The read_code function in read_words.c in Wavpack before 5.1.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial     of service (out-of-bounds read) via a crafted WV file. (CVE-2016-10169)

  - An issue was discovered in WavPack 5.1.0 and earlier for WAV input. Out-of-bounds writes can occur because     ParseRiffHeaderConfig in riff.c does not validate the sizes of unknown chunks before attempting memory     allocation, related to a lack of integer-overflow protection within a bytes_to_copy calculation and     subsequent malloc call, leading to insufficient memory allocation. (CVE-2018-10538)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

According to the versions of the wavpack package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - The function WavpackPackInit in pack_utils.c in     libwavpack.a in WavPack through 5.1.0 allows attackers     to cause a denial-of-service (resource exhaustion     caused by an infinite loop) via a crafted wav audio     file because WavpackSetConfiguration64 mishandles a     sample rate of zero.(CVE-2018-19840)

  - The read_code function in read_words.c in Wavpack     before 5.1.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial     of service (out-of-bounds read) via a crafted WV     file.(CVE-2016-10169)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
