PulseAudio 0.9.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via (1) a PA_PSTREAM_DESCRIPTOR_LENGTH value of FRAME_SIZE_MAX_ALLOW sent on TCP port 9875, which triggers a p->export assertion failure in do_read; (2) a PA_PSTREAM_DESCRIPTOR_LENGTH value of 0 sent on TCP port 9875, which triggers a length assertion failure in pa_memblock_new; or (3) an empty packet on UDP port 9875, which triggers a t assertion failure in pa_sdp_parse; and allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via a crafted packet on TCP port 9875 that (4) triggers a maxlength assertion failure in pa_memblockq_new, (5) triggers a size assertion failure in pa_xmalloc, or (6) plays a certain sound file.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2007-1804 is a denial-of-service issue in PulseAudio 0.9.5. Specially crafted network traffic can crash the audio daemon. The business impact is availability, not data theft, but exposed or legacy Linux systems using networked PulseAudio could lose audio service repeatedly. Exposure is most likely on legacy Linux systems still running PulseAudio 0.9.5 with PulseAudio network access enabled or reachable on TCP/UDP port 9875. Modern systems are less likely affected, but the bundle does not provide CPEs or fixed versions. Prioritize if legacy Linux desktops, kiosks, thin clients, or audio-dependent systems expose PulseAudio over the network. For typical modern server estates, urgency is lower unless asset inventory finds PulseAudio 0.9.5 or reachable port 9875. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems for PulseAudio 0.9.5 or affected distro packages.; Apply relevant vendor or distribution security updates.; Disable PulseAudio network access where it is not required..
