Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions libsndfile version 1.0.28

Description The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in an invalid read and application crash, via a crafted audio file. This is due to a problem in the flac buffer copy function in flac.c.

Recommendations For libsndfile version 1.0.28, consider avoiding the use of crafted audio files until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, restrict the processing of audio files from untrusted sources to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
