CVE-2017-6892
HighSummary
In version 1.0.28 of the libsndfile library, there is an error in the 'aiff_read_chanmap()' function that can be exploited to cause an out-of-bounds read memory access via a specially crafted AIFF file.
Risk Assessment
Exploitation of this vulnerability may lead to unauthorized memory access, potentially resulting in data leakage or application crashes.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update the libsndfile library to the latest version to mitigate this vulnerability.
