The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5904-1 advisory.

  - An issue was discovered in libsox.a in SoX 14.4.2. In sox-fmt.h (startread function), there is an integer     overflow on the result of integer addition (wraparound to 0) fed into the lsx_calloc macro that wraps     malloc. When a NULL pointer is returned, it is used without a prior check that it is a valid pointer,     leading to a NULL pointer dereference on lsx_readbuf in formats_i.c. (CVE-2019-13590)

  - A flaw was found in sox 14.4.1. The lsx_adpcm_init function within libsox leads to a global-buffer-     overflow. This flaw allows an attacker to input a malicious file, leading to the disclosure of sensitive     information. (CVE-2021-3643)

  - A vulnerability was found in SoX, where a heap-buffer-overflow occurs in function lsx_read_w_buf() in     formats_i.c file. The vulnerability is exploitable with a crafted file, that could cause an application to     crash. (CVE-2021-23159)

  - A vulnerability was found in SoX, where a heap-buffer-overflow occurs in function startread() in hcom.c     file. The vulnerability is exploitable with a crafted hcomn file, that could cause an application to     crash. (CVE-2021-23172)

  - A floating point exception (divide-by-zero) issue was discovered in SoX in functon read_samples() of voc.c     file. An attacker with a crafted file, could cause an application to crash. (CVE-2021-23210)

  - A floating point exception (divide-by-zero) issue was discovered in SoX in functon startread() of wav.c     file. An attacker with a crafted wav file, could cause an application to crash. (CVE-2021-33844)

  - A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the sphere.c start_read() functionality of Sound     Exchange libsox 14.4.2 and master commit 42b3557e. A specially-crafted file can lead to a heap buffer     overflow. An attacker can provide a malicious file to trigger this vulnerability. (CVE-2021-40426)

  - In SoX 14.4.2, there is a floating-point exception in lsx_aiffstartwrite in aiff.c in libsox.a.
    (CVE-2022-31650)

  - In SoX 14.4.2, there is an assertion failure in rate_init in rate.c in libsox.a. (CVE-2022-31651)

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