Date : December 3, 2009
Affected: 2008.0
_______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in libsndfile:

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 (CVE-2009-1788).

Heap-based buffer overflow in aiff_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 an AIFF
file with an invalid header value (CVE-2009-1791).

This update provides fixes for these vulnerabilities.

Update:

Packages for 2008.0 are being provided due to extended support for
Corporate products.
