NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream sox package and not the sox package as distributed by Alpine. See How to fix? for Alpine:3.18 relevant fixed versions and status.

An issue was discovered in SoX 14.4.2. lsx_make_lpf in effect_i_dsp.c has an integer overflow on the result of multiplication fed into malloc. When the buffer is allocated, it is smaller than expected, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow.
