CVE-2017-7741  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-119  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade libsndfile to version 1.0.28 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-Bounds. 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 write memory access) via a specially crafted FLAC file during a resample attempt, a similar issue to CVE-2017-7585.
