Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Several issues have been found in libsndfile, a library for reading/writing audio files. All issues are basically divide by zero errors, heap read overflows or other buffer overlow errors.

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 1.0.27-3+deb9u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your libsndfile packages.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
