Detail

Heap-based buffer overflow in aiff_read_header in libsndfile 1.0.15 through 1.0.19, as used in Winamp 5.552 and possibly other media programs, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via an AIFF file with an invalid header value.

Title: DSA-1814-1 libsndfile -- heap-based buffer overflow
Description: Two vulnerabilities have been found in libsndfile, a library to read and write sampled audio data. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identified the following problems: Tobias Klein discovered that the VOC parsing routines suffer of a heap-based buffer overflow which can be triggered by an attacker via a crafted VOC header. The vendor discovered that the AIFF parsing routines suffer of a heap-based buffer overflow similar to CVE-2009-1788 which can be triggered by an attacker via a crafted AIFF header. In both cases the overflowing data is not completely attacker controlled but still leads to application crashes or under some circumstances might still lead to arbitrary code execution. For the oldstable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 1.0.16-2+etch2. For the stable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 1.0.17-4+lenny2. For the testing distribution, this problem will be fixed soon. For the unstable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 1.0.20-1. We recommend that you upgrade your libsndfile packages.

Title: USN-849-1 -- libsndfile vulnerabilities
Description: Tobias Klein discovered a heap-based buffer overflow in libsndfile. If a user or automated system processed a crafted VOC file, an attacker could cause a denial of service via application crash, or possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program. Erik de Castro Lopo discovered a similar heap-based buffer overflow when processing AIFF files. If a user or automated system processed a crafted AIFF file, an attacker could cause a denial of service via application crash, or possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program
