ochufftreeunpack in huffdec.c in libtheora in Theora through 1.0 7180717 has an invalid negative left shift. NOTE: this is disputed by third parties because there is no evidence of a security impact, e.g., an application would not crash.

Multiple buffer overflows in src/ezstream.c in Ezstream before 0.3.0 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted XML configuration file processed by the (1) urlParse function, which causes a stack-based overflow and the (2) ReplaceString function, which causes a heap-based overflow. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.

Array index vulnerability in Speex 1.1.12 and earlier, as used in libfishsound 0.9.0 and earlier, including Illiminable DirectShow Filters and Annodex Plugins for Firefox, xine-lib before 1.1.12, and many other products, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a header structure containing a negative offset, which is used to dereference a function pointer.

A buffer overflow was discovered in the URL-authentication backend of the Icecast before 2.4.4. If the backend is enabled, then any malicious HTTP client can send a request for that specific resource including a crafted header, leading to denial of service and potentially remote code execution.

A flaw was found in libtheora. This heap-based out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists within the AVI (Audio Video Interleave) parser, specifically in the aviparseinputfile() function. A local attacker could exploit this by tricking a user into opening a specially crafted AVI file containing a truncated header sub-chunk. This could lead to a denial-of-service (application crash) or potentially leak sensitive information from the heap.

Chris Montgomery has informed us of a bug found in libvorbis. The patch is in revision 13160 from http://svn.xiph.org/trunk/vorbis (svn diff -r 13159:13160 http://svn.xiph.org/trunk/vorbis)

I'm calling this bug an "array boundary condition flaw". It's the best definition I could find that matched up with something MITRE uses. The issue in question is related to the usage of a function pointer table. Here is an example:

mappingP[ci->maptype[i]]->freeinfo(ci->mapparam[i]);

What happens is the value of 'ci->maptype[i]' can be an attacker controlled 16 bit unsigned integer. The amount of play with the that function pointer is a bit suspect I admit, but I suspect it's still exploitable (some peer review from someone better at this sort of thing would be helpful).

The code in question is called when libvorbis starts to clean things up after receiving bad data.

Will Drewry of the Google Security Team reported an issue in OGG Vorbis library, that can cause an integer overflow in the computation of quantvals and of the space required for quantlist leading to a heap overflow.

Check for the overflow added in the fix. Files are rejected if the total virtual space of the codebook exceeds 24 bits.
