audiofile was updated to fix one security issue.

This security issue was fixed :

  - CVE-2015-7747: Overflow when changing both number of     channels and sample format (bsc#949399).

Fabrizio Gennari discovered that audiofile incorrectly handled changing both the sample format and the number of channels. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted file, audiofile could be made to crash, leading to a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 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.

  - audiofile: Heap-based buffer overflow in Expand3To4Module::run() when running sfconvert (CVE-2018-17095)

  - Heap-based buffer overflow in msadpcm.c in libaudiofile in audiofile 0.2.6 allows context-dependent     attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a     crafted WAV file. (CVE-2008-5824)

  - Buffer overflow in the afReadFrames function in audiofile (aka libaudiofile and Audio File Library) allows     user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (program crash) or possibly execute arbitrary     code via a crafted audio file, as demonstrated by sixteen-stereo-to-eight-mono.c. (CVE-2015-7747)

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