Summary
=======

The package lib32-libsndfile before version 1.0.26-1 is vulnerable to
multiple issues including denial of service and unspecified impact. 

Resolution

Description
===========

- CVE-2014-9496 (unspecified impact) 
The sd2_parse_rsrc_fork function in sd2.c in lib32-libsndfile allows
attackers to have unspecified impact via vectors related to a (1) map offset
or (2) rsrc marker, which triggers an out-of-bounds read.

- CVE-2014-9756 (denial of service) 
The psf_fwrite function in file_io.c in lib32-libsndfile allows attackers to
cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and application crash) via
unspecified vectors related to the headindex variable.

- CVE-2015-7805 (unspecified impact) 
Heap-based buffer overflow in lib32-libsndfile 1.0.25 allows remote
attackers to have unspecified impact via the headindex value in the header
in an AIFF file.

Impact
======

A remote attacker could be able to have unspecified impact on the running
application. Furthermore a local attacker is able to crash the running
application by causing a divide-by-zero error.
