Debian DLA-128-1 : sox security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 82111

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Michele Spagnuolo of the Google Security Team discovered two heap-based buffer overflows in SoX, the Swiss Army knife of sound processing programs. A specially crafted wav file could cause an application using SoX to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
