The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - libsndfile: Heap overflow vulnerability when parsing specially crafted AIFF header (CVE-2015-7805)

  - libsndfile: Heap-based Buffer Overflow in psf_binheader_writef function in common.c (CVE-2017-12562)

  - The sd2_parse_rsrc_fork function in sd2.c in libsndfile allows attackers to have unspecified impact via     vectors related to a (1) map offset or (2) rsrc marker, which triggers an out-of-bounds read.
    (CVE-2014-9496)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.
