Insight
A vulnerability was discovered and corrected in libsndfile:
An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was found in the way the libsndfile library processed certain Ensoniq PARIS Audio Format (PAF) audio files. An attacker could create a specially-crafted PAF file that, when opened, could cause an application using libsndfile to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application (CVE-2011-2696).
Packages for 2009.0 are provided as of the Extended Maintenance Program. Please visit this link to learn more:
