Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Multiple vulnerabilites in wavpack were found, like OOB read (which could potentially lead to a DOS attack), unexpected control flow, crashes, integer overflow, and segfaults.

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 5.0.0-2+deb9u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your wavpack packages.

For the detailed security status of wavpack please refer to its security tracker page at:

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.
