Debian DLA-1197-1 : sox security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 104939

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Various security vulnerabilities were discovered in sox, a command line utility to convert audio formats, that may lead to a denial of service (application crash / infinite loop) or memory corruptions by processing a malformed input file.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 14.4.0-3+deb7u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your sox packages.

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

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
