CVE-2017-9130 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2017-9130): The faacEncOpen function in libfaac/frame.c in Freeware Advanced Audio Coder (FAAC) 1.28 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid memory read and application crash) via a crafted wav file. CVE-2017-9129 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2017-9129): The wav_open_read function in frontend/input.c in Freeware Advanced Audio Coder (FAAC) 1.28 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (large loop) via a crafted wav file.
@Maintainers could you please confirm if 1.28-r4 is affected? Thank you.
probably 1.29.9.2 will fix this
It looks like the fixes are definitely included since version 1.29 was released in july last year(!), see here: https://sourceforge.net/p/faac/bugs/208/ And it seems that our current stable version IS vulnerable for at least CVE-2017-9130. I can apply the patch to fix this issue against faac-1.28-r4 source. https://sourceforge.net/p/faac/bugs/_discuss/thread/0940294d/b003/attachment/faac_CVE-2017-9130.patch I would suggest as soon as possible to stabilize latest version 1.29.9.2, I use this version for some time now.
PING! 2 more weeks have passed, but nothing has happened here.
