high Nessus Plugin ID 202981

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2 host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of audiofile installed on the remote host is prior to 0.3.6-9. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2024-2601 advisory.

Buffer overflow in the afReadFrames function in audiofile (aka libaudiofile and Audio File Library) allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (program crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted audio file, as demonstrated by sixteen-stereo-to-eight-mono.c. (CVE-2015-7747)

Heap-based buffer overflow in the MSADPCM::initializeCoefficients function in MSADPCM.cpp in audiofile (aka libaudiofile and Audio File Library) 0.3.6 allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via a crafted audio file. (CVE-2017-6827)

Heap-based buffer overflow in the readValue function in FileHandle.cpp in audiofile (aka libaudiofile and Audio File Library) 0.3.6 allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via a crafted WAV file.
(CVE-2017-6828)

The decodeSample function in IMA.cpp in Audio File Library (aka audiofile) 0.3.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted file. (CVE-2017-6829)

Heap-based buffer overflow in the alaw2linear_buf function in G711.cpp in Audio File Library (aka audiofile) 0.3.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted file.
(CVE-2017-6830)

Heap-based buffer overflow in the decodeBlockWAVE function in IMA.cpp in Audio File Library (aka audiofile) 0.3.6, 0.3.5, 0.3.4, 0.3.3, 0.3.2, 0.3.1, 0.3.0 and 0.2.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted file. (CVE-2017-6831)

Heap-based buffer overflow in the decodeBlock in MSADPCM.cpp in Audio File Library (aka audiofile) 0.3.6, 0.3.5, 0.3.4, 0.3.3, 0.3.2, 0.3.1, 0.3.0, 0.2.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted file. (CVE-2017-6832)

The runPull function in libaudiofile/modules/BlockCodec.cpp in Audio File Library (aka audiofile) 0.3.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and crash) via a crafted file.
(CVE-2017-6833)

Heap-based buffer overflow in the ulaw2linear_buf function in G711.cpp in Audio File Library (aka audiofile) 0.3.6, 0.3.5, 0.3.4, 0.3.3, 0.3.2, 0.3.1, 0.3.0, 0.2.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted file. (CVE-2017-6834)

The reset1 function in libaudiofile/modules/BlockCodec.cpp in Audio File Library (aka audiofile) 0.3.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and crash) via a crafted file.
(CVE-2017-6835)

Heap-based buffer overflow in the Expand3To4Module::run function in libaudiofile/modules/SimpleModule.h in Audio File Library (aka audiofile) 0.3.6, 0.3.5, 0.3.4, 0.3.3, 0.3.2, 0.3.1, 0.3.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted file. (CVE-2017-6836)

WAVE.cpp in Audio File Library (aka audiofile) 0.3.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via vectors related to a large number of coefficients. (CVE-2017-6837)

Integer overflow in sfcommands/sfconvert.c in Audio File Library (aka audiofile) 0.3.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted file. (CVE-2017-6838)

Integer overflow in modules/MSADPCM.cpp in Audio File Library (aka audiofile) 0.3.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted file. (CVE-2017-6839)

Heap buffer overflow vulnerability in FilePOSIX::read in File.cpp in audiofile 0.3.6 may cause denial-of- service via a crafted wav file, this bug can be triggered by the executable sfconvert. (CVE-2020-18781)

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

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

Solution

Run 'yum update audiofile' to update your system.
