Heap-based buffer overflow in the Expand3To4Module::run function in libaudiofile/modules/SimpleModule.h in Audio File Library (aka audiofile) 0.3.6, 0.3.5, 0.3.4, 0.3.3, 0.3.2, 0.3.1, 0.3.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted file.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
