Ubuntu 16.04 ESM : libsamplerate vulnerability (USN-5749-1)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 168279

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-5749-1 advisory.

 Erik de Castro Lopo and Agostino Sarubbo discovered that libsamplerate did not properly perform bounds checking. If a user were tricked into processing a specially crafted audio file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a crash.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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

Solution

Update the affected libsamplerate0, libsamplerate0-dev and / or samplerate-programs packages.
