Eric Young · Libsndfile · CVE-2018-19758
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
libsndfile version 1.0.28
**Description**
The issue is related to a heap-based buffer over-read in the `wav write header` function of the libsndfile library. This can cause a denial of service. The vulnerability is associated with reading beyond the valid boundaries of a data buffer, which can be exploited by a remote attacker to disrupt service.
**Recommendations**
For libsndfile version 1.0.28, consider disabling the `wav write header` function as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to the wav.c module to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
