NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libsndfile package and not the libsndfile package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:14.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

The psf_fwrite function in file_io.c in libsndfile allows attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and application crash) via unspecified vectors related to the headindex variable.
