Fedora: 28 sox Update Resolves Division by Zero Errors and Fixes

fedora
Calendar Grey July 27, 2018
Dist Fedora Esm H88
This patch resolves various vulnerabilities in the sox application for Fedora, improving its performance and reliability.
Fixes **CVE-2017-11332**, **CVE-2017-11358**, and **CVE-2017-11359**

Summary

SoX (Sound eXchange) is a sound file format converter. SoX can convert

between many different digitized sound formats and perform simple

sound manipulation functions, including sound effects.

Fixes **CVE-2017-11332**, **CVE-2017-11358**, and **CVE-2017-11359**. ----**Prevents division by zero in `src/ao.c`** This bug is hard to reproduce,

depending on the HW configuration or installed OS parts. For me, it can be

reproduced only in `mock`. In this update, error message should be displayed

instead of SIGFPE.
