CVE-2017-8361
HighSummary
The flac_buffer_copy function in flac.c in libsndfile version 1.0.28 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted audio file.
Risk Assessment
An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to remotely trigger application crashes, potentially leading to service downtime.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update libsndfile to the latest version to mitigate this vulnerability and to monitor systems for suspicious audio files.
