7DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in swftools up to 0.9.2. This affects the function wav_convert2mono in the library lib/wav.c of the component wav2swf. The manipulation leads to out-of-bounds read. The attack needs to be approached locally. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.
AnalysisAI
Out-of-bounds read in swftools wav2swf component allows local attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted WAV file. The vulnerability affects swftools up to version 0.9.2 and has a public exploit available, though no active exploitation has been reported. EPSS score is low (0.05%), indicating low exploitation likelihood.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability resides in the wav_convert2mono function in lib/wav.c of the wav2swf utility, part of the swftools suite. The CWE-119 class covers buffer operations without proper bounds checking, leading to out-of-bounds read. CPE data confirms all versions of swftools are affected. The attack requires local access to trigger the flaw via a specially crafted WAV file.
RemediationAI
Upgrade to the latest patched version of swftools. The vendor has provided a fix; refer to the GitHub issue at https://github.com/swftools/swftools/issues/239 for details. As a workaround, avoid processing untrusted WAV files with wav2swf until patched.
