Mandriva Linux Security Advisory : libsndfile (MDVSA-2015:024)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 80561

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Mandriva Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

Updated libsndfile packages fix security vulnerabilities :

libsndfile contains multiple buffer-overflow vulnerabilities in src/sd2.c because it fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied input, which may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (CVE-2014-9496).

libsndfile contains a divide-by-zero error in src/file_io.c which may allow an attacker to cause a denial of service.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
