GCVE-110-MAGEIA-2015-408
Advisory Published
Vulnetix · Advisory published October 25, 2015
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).
