Ubuntu Security Notice USN-3241-1
March 22, 2017
audiofile vulnerabilities
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
– Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
– Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Summary:
audiofile could be made to crash or run programs if it opened a specially
crafted file.
Software Description:
– audiofile: Open-source version of the SGI audiofile library
Details:
Agostino Sarubbo discovered that audiofile incorrectly handled certain
malformed audio files. If a user or automated system were tricked into
processing a specially crafted audio file, a remote attacker could cause
applications linked against audiofile to crash, leading to a denial of
service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
libaudiofile1 0.3.6-2ubuntu0.14.04.2
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
libaudiofile1 0.3.3-2ubuntu0.3
In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
