    Summary: Updated libsndfile packages fix security vulnerabilities

    Details: A stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted FLAC file due to an error in the header_read() function (CVE-2017-7586). Several stack-based buffer overflows via a specially crafted FLAC file due to an error in the flac_buffer_copy() function (CVE-2017-7585, CVE-2017-7741, CVE-2017-7742). Global buffer overflow in flac_buffer_copy() (CVE-2017-8361). Invalid memory read in flac_buffer_copy() (CVE-2017-8362). Heap-based buffer overflow in flac_buffer_copy() (CVE-2017-8363). The i2les_array function in pcm.c in libsndfile 1.0.28 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer over-read and application crash) via a crafted audio file (CVE-2017-8365).
