+ <background>
+ <p>SoX is a command line utility that can convert various formats of
+ computer audio files in to other formats.
+ </p>

+ <description>
+ <p>A heap-based buffer overflow can be triggered when processing a
+ malicious NIST Sphere or WAV audio file.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>A remote attacker could coerce the victim to run SoX against their
+ malicious file. This may be leveraged by an attacker to gain control of
+ program execution with the privileges of the user.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>All SoX users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
+
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-sound/sox-14.4.2"
+ </code>
