Discussion

FishSound Library Remote Speex Decoding Code Execution Vulnerability

The FishSound 'libfishsound' library is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability because the software fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied data.

Successfully exploiting this issue allows attackers to execute arbitrary machine code in the context of applications that use the library. Failed exploit attempts likely result in denial-of-service conditions.

Versions prior to FishSound 0.9.1 are vulnerable.

The following applications use the library and are also vulnerable:

- Speex
- Annodex plugin for Firefox
- Illiminable DirectShow Filters
- gstreamer-plugins-good
- SDL_sound
- Sweep
- vorbis-tools
- VLC Media Player
- xine-lib
- XMMS speex plugin

Other applications may also be affected.
