Descriptions

WavpackSetConfiguration64 in pack_utils.c in libwavpack.a in WavPack through 5.1.0 has a "Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value" condition, which might allow attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a DFF file that lacks valid sample-rate data.

WavpackSetConfiguration64, en pack_utils.c, en libwavpack.a, en WavPack hasta la versión 5.1.0, tiene una condición "Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value", que podría permitir a los atacantes causar una denegación de servicio (fallo de la aplicación) a través de un archivo DFF que carece de datos válidos sobre la velocidad de muestreo.

WavPack is a completely open audio compression format providing lossless, high-quality lossy, and a unique hybrid compression mode. Issues addressed include denial of service and out of bounds read vulnerabilities.
