Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
FLAC version 1.3.2
Description
The issue is related to the
read metadata vorbiscomment () function in the src/libFLAC/stream decoder.c component of the FLAC audio codec. It is caused by a lack of resource release after its valid usage period has expired. Exploitation of this issue allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service. The vulnerability can be exploited via a specially crafted FLAC file, leading to a memory leak.Recommendations
For FLAC version 1.3.2, consider disabling the
read metadata vorbiscomment () function as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to specially crafted FLAC files to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.Missing Release of Resource after Effective Lifetime
