CVE-2018-7254 (published 2018-02-19T23:29Z)

The ParseCaffHeaderConfig function of the cli/caff.c file of WavPack 5.1.0 allows a remote attacker to cause a denial-of-service (global buffer over-read), or possibly trigger a buffer overflow or incorrect memory allocation, via a maliciously crafted CAF file.

Severity: MEDIUM
CVSS v2 base score: 6.8 (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P)
CVSS v3 base score: 7.8, HIGH (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)

Weakness information:
cwe_id: CWE-125
cwe_name: Out-of-bounds Read
description: The product reads data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer.
