COMPLETE Summary
Heap-based buffer overflow in voc_read_header in libsndfile 1.0.15 through 1.0.19, as used in Winamp 5.552 and possibly other media programs, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a VOC file with an invalid header value.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Buffer Overflow via Environment Variables This attack pattern involves causing a buffer overflow through manipulation of environment variables. Once the attacker finds that they can modify an environment variable, they may try to overflow associated buffers. This attack leverages implicit trust often placed in environment variables.
- Overflow Buffers Buffer Overflow attacks target improper or missing bounds checking on buffer operations, typically triggered by input injected by an attacker. As a consequence, an attacker is able to write past the boundaries of allocated buffer regions in memory, causing a program crash or potentially redirection of execution as per the attackers' choice.
- Client-side Injection-induced Buffer Overflow This type of attack exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in targeted client software through injection of malicious content from a custom-built hostile service.
- Filter Failure through Buffer Overflow In this attack, the idea is to cause an active filter to fail by causing an oversized transaction. An attacker may try to feed overly long input strings to the program in an attempt to overwhelm the filter (by causing a buffer overflow) and hoping that the filter does not fail securely (i.e. the user input is let into the system unfiltered).
- MIME Conversion An attacker exploits a weakness in the MIME conversion routine to cause a buffer overflow and gain control over the mail server machine. The MIME system is designed to allow various different information formats to be interpreted and sent via e-mail. Attack points exist when data are converted to MIME compatible format and back.

NASL family Gentoo Local Security Checks NASL id GENTOO_GLSA-200905-09.NASL description The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200905-09 (libsndfile: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code) The following vulnerabilities have been found in libsndfile: Tobias Klein reported that the header_read() function in src/common.c uses user input for calculating a buffer size, possibly leading to a heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2009-1788). The vendor reported a boundary error in the aiff_read_header() function in src/aiff.c, possibly leading to a heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2009-1791). Impact : A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted AIFF or VOC file in a program using libsndfile, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identified the following problems : - CVE-2009-1788 Tobias Klein discovered that the VOC parsing routines suffer of a heap-based buffer overflow which can be triggered by an attacker via a crafted VOC header. - CVE-2009-1791 The vendor discovered that the AIFF parsing routines suffer of a heap-based buffer overflow similar to CVE-2009-1788 which can be triggered by an attacker via a crafted AIFF header. In both cases the overflowing data is not completely attacker controlled but still leads to application crashes or under some circumstances might still lead to arbitrary code execution. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 39374 published 2009-06-15 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2009-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/39374 title Debian DSA-1814-1 : libsndfile - heap-based buffer overflow NASL family SuSE Local Security Checks NASL id SUSE_LIBSNDFILE-6277.NASL description This update of libsndfile fixes a heap-based buffer overflow in voc_read_header() (CVE-2009-1788) and a heap-based buffer overflow in aiff_read_header() (CVE-2009-1791). last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 42017 published 2009-10-06 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2009-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/42017 title openSUSE 10 Security Update : libsndfile (libsndfile-6277) NASL family Ubuntu Local Security Checks NASL id UBUNTU_USN-849-1.NASL description Tobias Klein discovered a heap-based buffer overflow in libsndfile. If a user or automated system processed a crafted VOC file, an attacker could cause a denial of service via application crash, or possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program. (CVE-2009-1788) Erik de Castro Lopo discovered a similar heap-based buffer overflow when processing AIFF files. If a user or automated system processed a crafted AIFF file, an attacker could cause a denial of service via application crash, or possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program.
