Discussion

libcdaudio 'cddb.c' Remote Heap Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

The 'libcdaudio' library is prone to a remote heap buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied input before copying it to an insufficiently sized buffer.

Attackers can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of an application that uses the library. Failed attacks will cause denial-of-service conditions.

This issue affects libcdaudio 0.99.12p2; other versions may also be affected. Additional applications that use this library may also be vulnerable.
