    (CVE-2017-16942)

  - A stack-based buffer overflow in psf_memset in common.c in libsndfile 1.0.28 allows remote attackers to     cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted     audio file. The vulnerability can be triggered by the executable sndfile-deinterleave. (CVE-2018-13139)

  - An issue was discovered in libsndfile 1.0.28. There is a NULL pointer dereference in the function     sf_write_int in sndfile.c, which will lead to a denial of service. (CVE-2018-19432)

  - An issue was discovered in libsndfile 1.0.28. There is a buffer over-read in the function i2ulaw_array in     ulaw.c that will lead to a denial of service. (CVE-2018-19661)

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

It was found that the fix for CVE-2018-19758 was incomplete. That has been addressed in this update. The description for CVE-2018-19758 follows :

A heap-buffer-overflow vulnerability was discovered in libsndfile, the library for reading and writing files containing sampled sound. This flaw might be triggered by remote attackers to cause denial of service (out of bounds read and application crash).

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 1.0.25-9.1+deb8u4.

We recommend that you upgrade your libsndfile packages.
