CVE ID : CVE-2007-1804
Rated as : Moderate Risk 
Remotely Exploitable : Yes

Release Date : 2007-04-03

Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in PulseAudio, which could be exploited by attackers to cause a denial of service. These issues are due to assertion failures in various functions (e.g. "do_read", "pa_memblock_new", "pa_sdp_parse", "pa_memblockq_new" and "pa_xmalloc") when processing malformed or unexpected data, which could be exploited by attackers to crash an affected application via a specially crafted packet.
Affected Products
PulseAudio version 0.9.5 and prior
Solution
VUPEN Security is not aware of any vendor-supplied patch.
