Unauthenticated daemon crash via unchecked packet allocation
Published Oct 19, 2025 · Updated Oct 19, 2025
Denial of service in rplay through 3.3.2 allows remote attackers to crash the audio daemon via unauthenticated packet data. The RPLAY_DATA branch in rplay_unpack uses packet-controlled rp->data_size for malloc without a limit or failure check, then memcpy writes through the result. No authentication or user action is needed to reach packet processing; the established impact is a daemon crash, not code execution or data access.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
