CVE-2021-23172: Invalid Bug ID

A vulnerability was found in SoX, where a heap-buffer-overflow occurs in function startread() in hcom.c file. The vulnerability is exploitable with a crafted hcomn file, that could cause an application to crash.

CVE-2021-23159: Red Hat Customer Portal - Access to 24x7 support and knowledge

A vulnerability was found in SoX, where a heap-buffer-overflow occurs in function lsx_read_w_buf() in formats_i.c file. The vulnerability is exploitable with a crafted file, that could cause an application to crash.

CVE-2022-31651: SoX - Sound eXchange / Bugs

In SoX 14.4.2, there is an assertion failure in rate_init in rate.c in libsox.a.

CVE-2021-3643: Invalid Bug ID

A flaw was found in sox 14.4.1. The lsx_adpcm_init function within libsox leads to a global-buffer-overflow. This flaw allows an attacker to input a malicious file, leading to the disclosure of sensitive information.

CVE-2021-40426: TALOS-2021-1434 || Cisco Talos Intelligence Group

A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the sphere.c start_read() functionality of Sound Exchange libsox 14.4.2 and master commit 42b3557e. A specially-crafted file can lead to a heap buffer overflow. An attacker can provide a malicious file to trigger this vulnerability.

CVE-2019-13590: SoX - Sound eXchange / Bugs

An issue was discovered in libsox.a in SoX 14.4.2. In sox-fmt.h (startread function), there is an integer overflow on the result of integer addition (wraparound to 0) fed into the lsx_calloc macro that wraps malloc. When a NULL pointer is returned, it is used without a prior check that it is a valid pointer, leading to a NULL pointer dereference on lsx_readbuf in formats_i.c.
