The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  • libsndfile: Heap-based Buffer Overflow in psf_binheader_writef function in common.c (CVE-2017-12562)

  • 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. (CVE-2017-14245)

  • 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. (CVE-2017-14246)

  • 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. (CVE-2017-14634)

  • In libsndfile 1.0.25 (fixed in 1.0.26), a divide-by-zero error exists in the function wav_w64_read_fmt_chunk() in wav_w64.c, which may lead to DoS when playing a crafted audio file.
    (CVE-2017-16942)

  • Rejected reason: DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER. ConsultIDs: CVE-2017-14245. Reason: This candidate is a duplicate of CVE-2017-14245. Notes: All CVE users should reference CVE-2017-14245 instead of this candidate. All references and descriptions in this candidate have been removed to prevent accidental usage (CVE-2017-17456)

  • Rejected reason: DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER. ConsultIDs: CVE-2017-14246. Reason: This candidate is a duplicate of CVE-2017-14246. Notes: All CVE users should reference CVE-2017-14246 instead of this candidate. All references and descriptions in this candidate have been removed to prevent accidental usage (CVE-2017-17457)

  • 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. (CVE-2017-6892)

  • In libsndfile before 1.0.28, an error in the flac_buffer_copy() function (flac.c) can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted FLAC file. (CVE-2017-7585)

  • In libsndfile before 1.0.28, an error in the header_read() function (common.c) when handling ID3 tags can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted FLAC file. (CVE-2017-7586)

  • In libsndfile before 1.0.28, an error in the flac_buffer_copy() function (flac.c) can be exploited to cause a segmentation violation (with write memory access) via a specially crafted FLAC file during a resample attempt, a similar issue to CVE-2017-7585. (CVE-2017-7741)

  • In libsndfile before 1.0.28, an error in the flac_buffer_copy() function (flac.c) can be exploited to cause a segmentation violation (with read memory access) via a specially crafted FLAC file during a resample attempt, a similar issue to CVE-2017-7585. (CVE-2017-7742)

  • The flac_buffer_copy function in flac.c in libsndfile 1.0.28 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted audio file. (CVE-2017-8361)

  • The flac_buffer_copy function in flac.c in libsndfile 1.0.28 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid read and application crash) via a crafted audio file. (CVE-2017-8362)

  • The flac_buffer_copy function in flac.c in libsndfile 1.0.28 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read and application crash) via a crafted audio file. (CVE-2017-8363)

  • The i2les_array function in pcm.c in libsndfile 1.0.28 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer over-read and application crash) via a crafted audio file. (CVE-2017-8365)

  • An issue was discovered in libsndfile 1.0.28. There is a NULL pointer dereference in the function sf_write_int in sndfile.c, which will lead to a denial of service. (CVE-2018-19432)

  • An issue was discovered in libsndfile 1.0.28. There is a buffer over-read in the function i2ulaw_array in ulaw.c that will lead to a denial of service. (CVE-2018-19661)

  • There is a heap-based buffer over-read at wav.c in wav_write_header in libsndfile 1.0.28 that will cause a denial of service. (CVE-2018-19758)

  • It was discovered the fix for CVE-2018-19758 (libsndfile) was not complete and still allows a read beyond the limits of a buffer in wav_write_header() function in wav.c. A local attacker may use this flaw to make the application crash. (CVE-2019-3832)

  • An out-of-bounds read flaw was found in libsndfile’s FLAC codec functionality. An attacker who is able to submit a specially crafted file (via tricking a user to open or otherwise) to an application linked with libsndfile and using the FLAC codec, could trigger an out-of-bounds read that would most likely cause a crash but could potentially leak memory information that could be used in further exploitation of other flaws. (CVE-2021-4156)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager’s report that the package is installed.
