How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable sox to version 14.4.2+git20190427-3.2 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream sox package and not the sox package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in sox 14.4.1. The lsx_adpcm_init function within libsox leads to a global-buffer-overflow. This flaw allows an attacker to input a malicious file, leading to the disclosure of sensitive information.
