Description Luke Macken (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-10-13 16:04:35 UTC
SoX ".WAV" ICRD and ISFT Buffer Overflow
------------------------------------------------------------------------


SUMMARY

SoX is a "universal sound sample translator". Two buffer overflows have 
been found in SoX, allowing a remote attacker that can fool a user into 
listening into a maliciously created WAV with the SoX product to execute 
arbitrary code under the user privileges.

DETAILS

Vulnerable Systems:
 * SoX version 12.17.4 and prior

The two vulnerabilities can be found inside the wav.c file and are caused 
by inadequate testing done on the length received from the WAV header 
file. Both vulnerabilities are located inside the st_wavstartread().
