How to fix?

Upgrade RHEL:7 sox-devel to version 0:14.4.1-7.el7 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2019:2283.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream sox-devel package and not the sox-devel package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the startread function in xa.c in Sound eXchange (SoX) through 14.4.2, a corrupt header specifying zero channels triggers an infinite loop with a resultant NULL pointer dereference, which may allow a remote attacker to cause a denial-of-service.
