The mad_layer_III function in layer3.c in Underbit MAD libmad 0.15.1b, if NDEBUG is omitted, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and application exit) via a crafted audio file.

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:3782-1 advisory.

  - The mad_layer_III function in layer3.c in Underbit MAD libmad 0.15.1b, if NDEBUG is omitted, allows remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and application exit) via a crafted audio file.
    (CVE-2017-8372)

  - The mad_layer_III function in layer3.c in Underbit MAD libmad 0.15.1b allows remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other     impact via a crafted audio file. (CVE-2017-8373)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in MAD, an MPEG audio decoder library, which could result in denial of service if a malformed audio file is processed.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 0.15.1b-7+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your libmad packages.
