High
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
SDL versions 1.2.0 through 1.2.15
SDL versions 2.0.0 through 2.0.9
Description
The issue is related to a heap-based buffer over-read in the InitMS ADPCM function in the audio/SDL wave.c file of the Simple DirectMedia Layer library. This can be exploited by a remote attacker to impact the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information. The vulnerability is also associated with the wNumCoef function and involves reading beyond the boundaries of a data buffer.
Recommendations
For SDL versions 1.2.0 through 1.2.15, update to a version later than 1.2.15 to resolve the issue.
For SDL versions 2.0.0 through 2.0.9, update to a version later than 2.0.9 to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the
InitMS ADPCM function until a patch is available.
Restrict access to the vulnerable audio/SDL wave.c file to minimize the risk of exploitation.Exploit
