In autofile Audio File Library 0.3.6, there exists one memory leak vulnerability in printfileinfo, in printinfo.c, which allows an attacker to leak sensitive information via a crafted file. The printfileinfo function calls the copyrightstring function to get data, however, it dosn't use zero bytes to truncate the data.

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.

  - audiofile: Buffer overflow when changing number of channels and sample format (CVE-2015-7747)

  - audiofile: Heap-based buffer overflow in readValue (CVE-2017-6828)

  - Heap-based buffer overflow in the MSADPCM::initializeCoefficients function in MSADPCM.cpp in audiofile     (aka libaudiofile and Audio File Library) 0.3.6 allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via a     crafted audio file. (CVE-2017-6827)

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

This plugin has been deprecated as it does not adhere to established standards for this style of check.

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

  - In autofile Audio File Library 0.3.6, there exists one memory leak vulnerability in printfileinfo, in     printinfo.c, which allows an attacker to leak sensitive information via a crafted file. The printfileinfo     function calls the copyrightstring function to get data, however, it dosn't use zero bytes to truncate the     data. (CVE-2022-24599)
