CVE-2014-9496  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Echo:latest libsndfile to version 1.0.25-9.1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

The sd2_parse_rsrc_fork function in sd2.c in libsndfile allows attackers to have unspecified impact via vectors related to a (1) map offset or (2) rsrc marker, which triggers an out-of-bounds read.
