Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions libsndfile version 1.0.28

Description The issue is related to the double64 init() function in the libsndfile library, which lacks a check for division by zero. This can be exploited by a remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) when playing a specially crafted audio file.

Recommendations For libsndfile version 1.0.28, consider disabling the double64 init() function as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to crafted audio files to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
