CVE-2017-7585 libsndfile vulnerabilities
Title: libsndfile vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in libsndfile.
Agostino Sarubbo and Jakub Jirasek discovered that libsndfile incorrectly
handled certain malformed files. A remote attacker could use this issue to
cause libsndfile to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly
execute arbitrary code.
Instructions: After a standard system update you need to restart your session to make all
the necessary changes.

FAQ: Is Azure Linux the only Microsoft product that includes this open-source library and is therefore potentially affected by this vulnerability?
One of the main benefits to our customers who choose to use the Azure Linux distro is the commitment to keep it up to date with the most recent and most secure versions of the open source libraries with which the distro is composed. Microsoft is committed to transparency in this work which is why we began publishing CSAF/VEX in October 2025. See this blog post for more information. If impact to additional products is identified, we will update the CVE to r
