Descriptions
Heap-based buffer overflow in the flac_buffer_copy function in libsndfile 1.0.17 and earlier might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a FLAC file with crafted PCM data containing a block with a size that exceeds the previous block size.
Un desbordamiento de búfer en la región heap de la memoria en la función flac_buffer_copy en libsndfile versión 1.0.17 y anteriores, podría permitir a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario por medio de un archivo FLAC con datos PCM diseñados que contiene un bloque con un tamaño que excede el tamaño de bloque anterior.
Robert Buchholz of the Gentoo Security team discovered that the flac_buffer_copy() function does not correctly handle FLAC streams with variable block sizes which leads to a heap-based buffer overflow. Versions less than 1.0.17-r1 are affected.
