Description

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.

Solution(s)

With Rapid7 live dashboards, I have a clear view of all the assets on my network, which ones can be exploited, and what I need to do in order to reduce the risk in my environment in real-time. No other tool gives us that kind of value and insight.
