CVSS v2.0
7.1
High
| Vector | AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
WavPack versions 5.1.0 and earlier
Description
The issue is related to the use of uninitialized variables in the ParseCaffHeaderConfig function of the WavPack audio codec. This can be exploited by a remote attacker using a malicious .wav file, potentially leading to unexpected control flow, crashes, and segfaults. The component affected is ParseCaffHeaderConfig in the caff.c file.
Recommendations
For WavPack versions 5.1.0 and earlier, update to a version after commit https://github.com/dbry/WavPack/commit/f68a9555b548306c5b1ee45199ccdc4a16a6101b to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of .wav files from untrusted sources to minimize the risk of exploitation.
