    Summary: Updated libsndfile packages fix CVE-2014-9496

    Details: Updated libsndfile packages fix security vulnerabilities: libsndfile contains multiple buffer-overflow vulnerabilities in src/sd2.c because it fails to properly bounds-check user supplied input, which may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (CVE-2014-9496). libsndfile contains a divide-by-zero error in src/file_io.c which may allow an attacker to cause a denial of service.
