Description

Luigi Auriemma has reported some vulnerabilities in I Hear U, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).

1) An error within the processing of packets can be exploited to trigger the execution of an infinite loop by sending a packet containing a size field equal to zero.

2) An error exists within the processing of "IHU_INFO_INIT" and "IHU_INFO_RING" packets. This can be exploited to crash an affected application by sending a "IHU_INFO_INIT" or "IHU_INFO_RING" packet without an included mode value.

The vulnerabilities are reported in version 0.5.6. Prior versions may also be affected.

Solution
Update to version 0.5.7.
