Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Audio File Library versions 0.3.0 through 0.3.6

Description The issue is a heap-based buffer overflow in the Expand3To4Module::run function in libaudiofile/modules/SimpleModule.h. This allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted file.

Recommendations For versions 0.3.0 through 0.3.6, consider disabling the Expand3To4Module::run function as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to crafted files to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this issue.
