Description Lasse Kliemann 2015-12-13 22:41:04 UTC
Description of problem:
As per <https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2015-5afed1aad2>, a fix for CVE-2015-7805 was provided for stable on 2015-11-13, release 17.fc23.

As per 'dnf info libsndfile', I have this version installed here on my FC23 machine. However, the demo from <https://packetstormsecurity.com/files/133926/libsndfile-1.0.25-Heap-Overflow.html> still makes audacity crash.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
FC23 and libsndfile 1.0.25 17.fc23.

How reproducible:
Run the Perl script from <https://packetstormsecurity.com/files/133926/libsndfile-1.0.25-Heap-Overflow.html> and call 'audacity nemux.aiff'.

Actual results:
Segmentation fault.

Expected results:
Audacity should start. I tested this on an Ubuntu-based distribution.
