Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The audiofile Audio File Library version 0.3.6

Description The issue is related to a NULL pointer dereference bug in the ModuleState::setup function, located in modules/ModuleState.cpp. This bug can be exploited by an attacker to cause a denial of service using a crafted caf file. An example of such exploitation is demonstrated by the sfconvert tool.
