Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian: Security Advisory (DLA-3315-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'sox' package(s) announced via the DLA-3315-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'sox' package(s) announced via the DLA-3315-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
This update fixes multiple file format validation vulnerabilities that could result in memory access violations such as buffer overflows and floating point exceptions. It also fixes a regression in hcom parsing introduced when fixing CVE-2017-11358.

CVE-2019-13590

In sox-fmt.h (startread function), there is an integer overflow on the result of integer addition (wraparound to 0) fed into the lsx_calloc macro that wraps malloc. When a NULL pointer is returned, it is used without a prior check that it is a valid pointer, leading to a NULL pointer dereference on lsx_readbuf in formats_i.c.

CVE-2021-3643

The lsx_adpcm_init function within libsox leads to a global-buffer-overflow. This flaw allows an attacker to input a malicious file, leading to the disclosure of sensitive information.

CVE-2021-23159

A vulnerability was found in SoX, where a heap-buffer-overflow occurs in function lsx_read_w_buf() in formats_i.c file. The vulnerability is exploitable with a crafted file, that could cause an application to crash.

CVE-2021-23172

A vulnerability was found in SoX, where a heap-buffer-overflow occurs in function startread() in hcom.c file. The vulnerability is exploitable with a crafted hcomn file, that could cause an application to crash.

CVE-2021-23210

A floating point exception (divide-by-zero) issue was discovered in SoX in function read_samples() of voc.c file. An attacker with a crafted file, could cause an application to crash.

CVE-2021-33844

A floating point exception (divide-by-zero) issue was discovered in SoX in function startread() of wav.c file. An attacker with a crafted wav file, could cause an application to crash.

CVE-2021-40426

A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the sphere.c start_read() functionality of Sound Exchange libsox. A specially-crafted file can lead to a heap buffer overflow. An attacker can provide a malicious file to trigger this vulnerability.

CVE-2022-31650

There is a floating-point exception in lsx_aiffstartwrite in aiff.c.

CVE-2022-31651

There is an assertion failure in rate_init in rate.c.

For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version 14.4.2+git20190427-1+deb10u1.
