CVE-2017-12562
CriticalSummary
Heap-based buffer overflow in the psf_binheader_writef function in common.c in libsndfile through version 1.0.28 allows remote attackers to cause application crashes or possibly have unspecified other impacts.
Risk Assessment
Remote attackers may exploit this vulnerability to cause application crashes, leading to service availability interruptions.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update the libsndfile library to the latest version to mitigate this vulnerability.
Other vulnerabilities in libsndfile
See all- CVE-2017-14246High
An out of bounds read in the function d2ulaw_array() in libsndfile version 1.0.28 may lead to a remote DoS attack or information disclosure, related to mishandling of the NAN and INFINITY floating-point values.
- CVE-2017-14245High
An out of bounds read in the function d2alaw_array() in libsndfile version 1.0.28 may lead to a remote DoS attack or information disclosure, related to mishandling of the NAN and INFINITY floating-point values.
- CVE-2017-6892High
In version 1.0.28 of the libsndfile library, there is an error in the 'aiff_read_chanmap()' function that can be exploited to cause an out-of-bounds read memory access via a specially crafted AIFF file.
- CVE-2017-8361High
The flac_buffer_copy function in flac.c in libsndfile version 1.0.28 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted audio file.
- CVE-2015-7805High
A heap-based buffer overflow in libsndfile version 1.0.25 allows remote attackers to exploit the headindex value in the header of an AIFF file.
- CVE-2026-37555High
In libsndfile 1.2.2 IMA ADPCM codec, an integer overflow occurs when multiplying samplesperblock and blocks in the WAV code path, leading to incorrect frame count. An attacker can exploit this via a crafted WAV file to cause heap buffer overflow or denial of service.
