CVE-2021-23210

A floating point exception (divide-by-zero) issue was discovered in SoX in functon read_samples() of voc.c file. An attacker with a crafted file, could cause an application to crash.

A floating point exception (divide-by-zero) issue was discovered in SoX in functon read_samples() of voc.c file. An attacker with a crafted file, could cause an application to crash.

SoX is a cross-platform (Windows, Linux, MacOS X, etc.) command line utility that can convert various formats of computer audio files in to other formats. It can also apply various effects to these sound files, and, as an added bonus, SoX can play and record audio files on most platforms.

Security Fix(es):

A vulnerability was found in SoX, where a heap-buffer-overflow occurs in function lsx_read_w_buf() in formats_i.c file. The vulnerability is exploitable with a crafted file, that could cause an application to crash.(CVE-2021-23159)

Helmut Grohne discovered that SoX incorrectly handled certain inputs. If a user or an automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted input file, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 ESM, Ubuntu 16.04 ESM, and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. (CVE-2019-13590)
