NVD Description

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

The flac_buffer_copy function in flac.c in libsndfile 1.0.28 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted audio file.
