CVE-2017-7742 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
There is no fixed version for Debian:8 libsndfile.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libsndfile package and not the libsndfile package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:8 relevant fixed versions and status.
In libsndfile before 1.0.28, an error in the "flac_buffer_copy()" function (flac.c) can be exploited to cause a segmentation violation (with read memory access) via a specially crafted FLAC file during a resample attempt, a similar issue to CVE-2017-7585.
