Descriptions

The ParseDsdiffHeaderConfig function of the cli/dsdiff.c file of WavPack 5.1.0 allows a remote attacker to cause a denial-of-service (heap-based buffer over-read) or possibly overwrite the heap via a maliciously crafted DSDIFF file.

La función ParseDsdiffHeaderConfig del archivo cli/dsdiff.c de WavPack 5.1.0 permite que un atacante remoto provoque una denegación de servicio (sobrelectura de búfer basada en memoria dinámica o heap) o sobrescriba el heap mediante un archivo DSDIFF maliciosamente manipulado.

Joonun Jang discovered several problems in wavpack, an audio compression format suite. Incorrect processing of input resulted in several heap- and stack-based buffer overflows, leading to application crash or potential code execution. For the stable distribution (stretch), these problems have been fixed in version 5.0.0-2+deb9u1.
