Exploit-DB
Audio File Library 0.2.6 - libaudiofile 'msadpcm.c .WAV' File Processing Buffer Overflow
source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/33066/info
Audio File Library ('libaudiofile') is prone to a heap-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied data.
An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary machine code in the context of applications using the vulnerable library. Failed exploit attempts will likely cause denial-of-service conditions.
This issue affects libaudiofile 0.2.6; other versions may also be vulnerable.
