Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Off-by-one Error via the pcm_unpack_24be function. An attacker can corrupt stack memory and potentially execute arbitrary code or cause daemon termination by issuing two commands referencing a malicious HTTP audio source, which triggers an off-by-one write in the PCM decoder plugin.
