The problems have been fixed upstream in version 1.3.6.

Workaround

None.

Description

• CVE-2017-14632 (arbitrary code execution)

fXiph.Org libvorbis before 1.3.6 allows remote code execution upon
freeing uninitialized memory in the function
vorbis_analysis_headerout() in info.c when vi->channels<=0, a similar
issue to Mozilla bug 550184.

• CVE-2017-14633 (denial of service)

In Xiph.Org libvorbis before 1.3.6, an out-of-bounds array read
vulnerability exists in the function mapping0_forward() in mapping0.c,
which may lead to DoS when operating on a crafted audio file with
vorbis_analysis().

• CVE-2018-5146 (arbitrary code execution)

An out of bounds memory write vulnerability has been discovered in
libvorbis before 1.3.6 while processing Vorbis audio data related to
codebooks that are not an exact divisor of the partition size.

Impact

A remote attacker is able to execute arbitrary code or crash the
application by tricking the user into playing a specially crafted
vorbis file.
