Description

In the startread function in xa.c in Sound eXchange (SoX) through 14.4.2, a corrupt header specifying zero channels triggers an infinite loop with a resultant NULL pointer dereference, which may allow a remote attacker to cause a denial-of-service. A NULL pointer dereference flaw found in the way SoX handled processing of AIFF files. An attacker could potentially use this flaw to crash the SoX application by tricking it into processing crafted AIFF files.
