Array index vulnerability in Speex 1.1.12 and earlier, as used in libfishsound 0.9.0 and earlier, including Illiminable DirectShow Filters and Annodex Plugins for Firefox, xine-lib before 1.1.12, and many other products, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a header structure containing a negative offset, which is used to dereference a function pointer.

Security readout for executives and security teams

A crafted Speex audio file or stream could make vulnerable media software run attacker-controlled code. Business risk is highest where legacy systems still process untrusted audio, such as media players, browser plugins, filters, or ingestion pipelines. Exposure is most likely in legacy environments using affected Speex, libfishsound 0.9.0 or earlier, xine-lib before 1.1.12, Illiminable DirectShow Filters, Annodex Firefox plugins, or products bundling those components. Prioritize remediation for internet-facing or user-supplied media processing. Legacy desktop fleets and media services deserve attention because successful exploitation could run code in the affected application context. Mitigation focus: Identify systems that parse Speex audio or include affected media libraries.; Apply vendor security updates from the relevant distribution or product maintainer.; Upgrade or retire libfishsound 0.9.0 or earlier where present..
