Descriptions

An issue was discovered in SoX 14.4.2. lsx_make_lpf in effect_i_dsp.c has an integer overflow on the result of multiplication fed into malloc. When the buffer is allocated, it is smaller than expected, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow.

Se ha descubierto un problema en SoX 14.4.2. lsx_make_lpf en effect_i_dsp.c tiene un desbordamiento de enteros en el resultado de la multiplicación que se proporciona a malloc. Cuando el búfer se asigna, es más pequeño de lo esperado, lo que conduce a un desbordamiento de búfer basado en memoria dinámica (heap).
