The sd2_parse_rsrc_fork function in sd2.c in libsndfile allows attackers to have unspecified impact via vectors related to a (1) map offset or (2) rsrc marker, which triggers an out-of-bounds read.

Affected: Ubuntu:14.04:LTS: libsndfile

It was discovered that libsndfile incorrectly handled memory when parsing malformed files. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause libsndfile to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only applied to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2014-9496)

Joshua Rogers discovered that libsndfile incorrectly handled division when parsing malformed files. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause libsndfile to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2014-9756)

Marco Romano discovered that libsndfile incorrectly handled certain malformed AIFF files. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause libsndfile to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-7805)
