Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'sox' package(s) announced via the DSA-3112-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'sox' package(s) announced via the DSA-3112-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Michele Spagnuolo of the Google Security Team discovered two heap-based buffer overflows in SoX, the Swiss Army knife of sound processing programs. A specially crafted wav file could cause an application using SoX to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code.

For the stable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in version 14.4.0-3+deb7u1.

For the upcoming stable distribution (jessie) and the unstable distribution (sid), these problems will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you upgrade your sox packages.

Affected Software/OS:
'sox' package(s) on Debian 7.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
7.5

CVSS Vector:
