Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions audiofile version 0.3.6

Description The issue is related to a heap-based buffer overflow in the readValue function in FileHandle.cpp. This can be exploited by remote attackers through a crafted WAV file, potentially leading to unspecified impact.

Recommendations For version 0.3.6, consider restricting the handling of WAV files until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the readValue function in FileHandle.cpp to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this issue.
