Discussion

libsndfile VOC and AIFF Processing Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities

The 'libsndfile' library is prone to multiple buffer-overflow vulnerabilities because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data.

Attackers can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code in the context of an application using the library. This can compromise the affected application and possibly the computer. Failed attacks will likely cause denial-of-service conditions.

These issues affect versions prior to libsndfile 1.0.20.
