DESCRIPTION:
Secunia Research has discovered two vulnerabilities in Csound, which
can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
1) A boundary error in the "getnum()" function (util/heti_main.c) can
be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially
crafted hetro file.
2) A boundary error in the "getnum()" function (util/pv_import.c) can
be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially
crafted PVOC file.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code, but
requires tricking a user into converting a malicious file.
The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 5.13.0. Other versions
may also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Update to version 5.16.6.
