Description Laura Pardo 2018-07-05 11:35:17 EDT

A flaw was found in libsndfile 1.0.28. A stack-based buffer overflow when processing files with an unexpected amount of channels within the sndfile-deinterlace utility can be exploited by attackers to cause a crash, or, possibly, execute arbitrary code.
