It was discovered that there was a vulnerability in libsndfile, a library for
reading/writing audio files. A specially-crafted AIFF ("Audio Interchange File
Format") file could result in an out-of-bounds memory read.

For Debian 7 "Wheezy", this issue has been fixed in libsndfile version
1.0.25-9.1+deb7u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your libsndfile packages.
