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 RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

In libsndfile before 1.0.28, an error in the "flac_buffer_copy()" function (flac.c) can be exploited to cause a segmentation violation (with read memory access) via a specially crafted FLAC file during a resample attempt, a similar issue to CVE-2017-7585.
