Description David Walser 2018-08-06 22:13:21 CEST

Fedora has issued an advisory on August 4:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/LIZBEBMU7CW7K7KQ53E4OPSRTR6DZRNO/

I'm not sure why Fedora has version 1.2.0 still, so I'm not sure if the issue was fixed upstream in 1.2.2.  If not, Mageia 5 or Mageia 6 may be affected.

Comment 1 Marja Van Waes 2018-08-07 07:40:31 CEST

Assigning to all packagers collectively, since there is no registered maintainer for this package.

A flaw was found in libao. The _tokenize_matrix function in audio_out.c in

crafted mp3 file (CVE-2017-11548).

Comment 4 Herman Viaene 2019-01-05 12:08:50 CET

MGA6-32 on IBM Thinkpad R50e
No installation issues
No previous update bug found, so used
# urpmq --whatrequires libao4
and found  a.o. cmus as dependent on it. Installed cmus and (after googling how to run it)
$ strace -o libao.txt cmus
played a wav file in cmus and found refs to libao n  the trace file.
OK for me.
