Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.131103
Category:Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2015-0408)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'audiofile' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2015-0408 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'audiofile' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2015-0408 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
When libaudiofile is used to change both the number of channels of an
audio file (e.g. from stereo to mono) and the sample format (e.g. from
16-bit samples to 8-bit samples), the output file will contain corrupted
data. If the new sample format is smaller than the old one, there is a
risk of buffer overflow: e.g. when the input file has 16-bit samples and
the output file has 8-bit samples, afReadFrames will treat the buffer to
read the samples (argument void *data) as a pointer to int16_t instead of
int8_t, therefore it will write past its end (CVE-2015-7747).

Affected Software/OS:
'audiofile' package(s) on Mageia 5.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
