Fedora: 27 FLAC Security Update, CVE-2017-6888 Critical Memory Leak

FLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec. Grossly oversimplified, FLAC

is similar to Ogg Vorbis, but lossless. The FLAC project consists of

the stream format, reference encoders and decoders in library form,

flac, a command-line program to encode and decode FLAC files, metaflac,

a command-line metadata editor for FLAC files and input plugins for

various music players.

This package contains the command-line tools and documentation.
