Fedora 24 Urgent Update: Critical Fix for Libsndfile Buffer Overflow

libsndfile is a C library for reading and writing sound files such as

AIFF, AU, WAV, and others through one standard interface. It can

currently read/write 8, 16, 24 and 32-bit PCM files as well as 32 and

64-bit floating point WAV files and a number of compressed formats. It

compiles and runs on *nix, MacOS, and Win32.
