The audiofile library allows the processing of audio data to and from audio files of many common formats (currently AIFF, AIFF-C, WAVE, NeXT/Sun, BICS, and raw data).

CVE-2019-13147

Audiofile was vulnerable due to an integer overflow. The program quits
early if NeXT audio files include too many channels now.

CVE-2022-24599

A memory leak was found due to reading a not null terminated copyright field.
Preallocate zeroed memory and always NUL terminate C strings from now on.


For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 0.3.6-4+deb9u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your audiofile packages.
