 Package : audiofile Version : 0.3.6-5+deb10u1 CVE ID : CVE-2019-13147 CVE-2022-24599 Debian Bug : 931343 1008017

 The audiofile library allows the processing of audio data to and from audio files of many common formats (currently AIFF, AIFF-C, WAVE, NeXT/Sun, BICS, and raw data).

 CVE-2019-13147

 Audiofile was vulnerable due to an integer overflow.
 Bail out early if NeXT audio files include too many channels.

 CVE-2022-24599

 A memory leak was found due to reading not null terminated copyright field. Preallocate zeroed memory and always NUL terminates C strings.

 For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version 0.3.6-5+deb10u1.

 We recommend that you upgrade your audiofile packages.
