NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream wavpack package and not the wavpack package as distributed by Ubuntu.

The read_new_config_info function in open_utils.c in Wavpack before 5.1.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a crafted WV file.
