Upgrade Oracle:8 libsndfile to version 0:1.0.28-10.el8 or higher.
This issue was patched in ELSA-2020-1636.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libsndfile package and not the libsndfile package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

A stack-based buffer overflow in psf_memset in common.c in libsndfile 1.0.28 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted audio file. The vulnerability can be triggered by the executable sndfile-deinterleave.
