Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions flac versions prior to 1.3.1

Description The issue is related to a stack-based buffer overflow in the stream decoder.c file of the libFLAC library. This can be exploited by remote attackers through a crafted .flac file, potentially leading to the execution of arbitrary code and compromising the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information.

Recommendations For versions prior to 1.3.1, update to version 1.3.1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to .flac files from untrusted sources to minimize the risk of exploitation.
