What is CVE-2017-8363?

The flac_buffer_copy function within libsndfile version 1.0.28 is susceptible to a vulnerability that allows remote attackers to exploit crafted audio files. This exploitation can lead to heap-based buffer over-reads, resulting in a denial of service condition by causing application crashes. Implementations that utilize libsndfile for audio processing are at risk if they fail to validate audio file integrity.
