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.

In libsndfile before 1.0.28, an error in the "flac_buffer_copy()" function (flac.c) can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted FLAC file.
