Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for libsndfile.

CVE-2021-4156[0]:
| An out-of-bounds read flaw was found in libsndfile's FLAC codec
| functionality. An attacker who is able to submit a specially crafted
| file (via tricking a user to open or otherwise) to an application
| linked with libsndfile and using the FLAC codec, could trigger an out-
| of-bounds read that would most likely cause a crash but could
| potentially leak memory information that could be used in further
| exploitation of other flaws.
