I don't believe this was ever fixed, and I don't know if it was corrected in upstream 0.2.7 (judging by the changelog on their site it doesn't look like it). I have not looked at any code to determine if this is the case. Created audiofile tracking bugs for this issue Affects: fedora-all [bug 665500] This CVE was fixed by commit e8cf0095b3f319739f9aa1ab5a1aa52b76be8cdd: https://github.com/mpruett/audiofile/commit/e8cf0095b3f319739f9aa1ab5a1aa52b76be8cdd Audio File Library version 0.2.7, published on 21 March 2010, was the first release to include this commit.
