Detail

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 14.04 LTS - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Summary:

audiofile could be made to crash or run programs if it opened a specially crafted file.

Software Description: - audiofile: Open-source version of the SGI audiofile library

Details:

Agostino Sarubbo discovered that audiofile incorrectly handled certain malformed audio files. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted audio file, a remote attacker could cause applications linked against audiofile to crash, leading to a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
libaudiofile1 0.3.6-2ubuntu0.14.04.2

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
libaudiofile1 0.3.3-2ubuntu0.3

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
