Title:	Fedora Core 7 FEDORA-2007-2236 (libsndfile)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to libsndfile announced via advisory FEDORA-2007-2236. 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. Update Information: An updated libsndfile package has been released, fixing a potential heap-based buffer overflow in malcrafted flac files. Thx to Robert Buchholz for finding that issue.
