==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

libsndfile could be made to crash if it opened a specially crafted file.

Software Description:

Details:

It was discovered that libsndfile incorrectly handled certain malformed
OggVorbis files. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause

package versions:
