Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions libsndfile version 1.0.25

Description The issue is related to a heap-based buffer overflow that can be triggered by the headindex value in the header of an AIFF file. This allows remote attackers to have an unspecified impact.

Recommendations For libsndfile version 1.0.25, consider updating to a newer version that addresses this issue. As a temporary workaround, restrict the processing of AIFF files with potentially malicious headindex values in the header. Avoid using the headindex value in the AIFF file header until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
