It was discovered that there was a heap buffer overflow attack in libsndfile, a library for reading/writing audio files. An attacker could cause a remote denial of service attack by tricking the function into outputting a large amount of data.

For Debian 7 ‘Wheezy’, this issue has been fixed in libsndfile version 1.0.25-9.1+deb7u4.

We recommend that you upgrade your libsndfile packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
