CVE-2017-6892

In libsndfile version 1.0.28, an error in the "aiff_read_chanmap()" function (aiff.c) can be exploited to cause an out-of-bounds read memory access via a specially crafted AIFF file.

In libsndfile, an error in the "aiff_read_chanmap()" function (aiff.c) can be exploited to cause an out-of-bounds read memory access via a specially crafted AIFF file (CVE-2017-6892).

These are all security issues fixed in the libsndfile-devel-1.0.31-2.2 package on the GA media of openSUSE Tumbleweed.

This update for libsndfile fixes the following issues:

• CVE-2017-16942: Divide-by-zero in the function wav_w64_read_fmt_chunk(), which may lead to Denial of service (bsc#1069874).
• CVE-2017-6892: Fixed an out-of-bounds read memory access in the aiff_read_chanmap() (bsc#1043978).
• CVE-2017-14634: In libsndfile 1.0.28, a divide-by-zero error exists in the function double64_init() in double64.c, which may lead to DoS when playing a crafted audio file. (bsc#1059911)
• CVE-2017-14245: An out of bounds read in the function d2alaw_array() in alaw.c of libsndfile 1.0.28 may lead to a remote DoS attack or information disclosure, related to mishandling of the NAN and INFINITY floating-point values. (bsc#1059912)
• CVE-2017-14246: An out of bounds read in the function d2ulaw_array() in ulaw.c of libsndfile 1.0.28 may lead to a remote DoS attack or information disclosure, related to mishandling of the NAN and INFINITY floating-point values.(bsc#1059913)
