## Description

I Hear U (IHU) 0.5.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause (1) a
denial of service (infinite loop) via a packet that contains zero in the
size field in its header, which is improperly handled by the
Receiver::processPacket function; and (2) a denial of service (daemon
crash) via an (a) IHU\_INFO\_INIT or a (b) IHU\_INFO\_RING packet that does not
specify the mode, which is improperly handled by the Player::ring function
in Player.cpp.
