Description The issue concerns multiple double free vulnerabilities in the Free Lossless Audio Codec (FLAC) libFLAC. These vulnerabilities can be exploited by user-assisted remote attackers via malformed Seektable values or Seektable Data Offsets in a .FLAC file, potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code.
