Bug#445889: CVE-2007-4974 heap overflow in libsndfile included in libs/



Package: ardour
Severity: grave
Tags: security

Hi,
the following CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id was
published for ardour.

CVE-2007-4974[0]:
| Heap-based buffer overflow in libsndfile 1.0.17 and earlier might
| allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a FLAC file with
| crafted PCM data containing a block with a size that exceeds the
| previous block size.

If you fix this vulnerability please also include the CVE id
in your changelog entry.

As ardour has a code copy of libsndfile which is affected by 
this, ardour is vulnerable. I looked at ardours build log 
and this library is at least built. If it is not used to 
link against please close this bug.

For further information:

Kind regards
Nico
