A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in libsndfile version 1.2.2 and potentially earlier versions when processing malformed IRCAM audio files. The vulnerability occurs in the ircam_read_header function at src/ircam.c:164 during sample rate processing, leading to memory corruption and potential code execution.

The remote openSUSE 16 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the openSUSE-SU-2026:20787-1 advisory.

    This update for libsndfile fixes the following issues

    - CVE-2025-52194: buffer overflow in the ircam_read_header function of file src/ircam.c when processing     malformed IRCAM       audio files (bsc#1248458).
    - CVE-2025-56226: memory leak in the `mpeg_l3_encoder_init()` function of `mpeg_l3_encode.c`     (bsc#1256702).
    - CVE-2026-37555: IMA-ADPCM integer overflow (bsc#1263695).

    Changes for libsndfile:

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
