_______________________________________________________________________

Package : libsndfile
Date : October 1, 2007
Affected: 2007.0, 2007.1
_______________________________________________________________________

to execute arbitrary code via a FLAC file with crafted PCM data which
contains a block with a size exceeding that of the previous block.

Updated packages have been patched to prevent this issue.
