CVE-2008-2009

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions libvorbis versions prior to 1.0

Description The issue is related to multiple vulnerabilities in the libvorbis package, which can be exploited remotely to compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information. Specifically, it does not properly check for underpopulated Huffman trees, allowing remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted OGG file that triggers memory corruption during execution of the make decode tree function.

Recommendations For versions prior to 1.0, update to version 1.0 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to potentially vulnerable functions, such as make decode tree, until a patch is available. Avoid using crafted OGG files that may trigger memory corruption in the affected libvorbis package.
