Debian DLA-1808-1 : sox security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 125479

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Several issues were found in SoX, the Swiss army knife of sound processing programs, that could lead to denial of service via application crash or potentially to arbitrary code execution by processing maliciously crafted input files.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 14.4.1-5+deb8u4.

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.
