FKIE_CVE-2019-8355

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2019-02-15 23:29 - Updated: 2026-06-17 02:41
Severity
5.5 (Medium) - CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Summary
An issue was discovered in SoX 14.4.2. In xmalloc.h, there is an integer overflow on the result of multiplication fed into the lsx_valloc macro that wraps malloc. When the buffer is allocated, it is smaller than expected, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow in channels_start in remix.c.
