NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream audacity package and not the audacity package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

Stack-based buffer overflow in the String_parse::get_nonspace_quoted function in lib-src/allegro/strparse.cpp in Audacity 1.2.6 and other versions before 1.3.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a .gro file containing a long string.
