What to do

AI-suggested

Until an official fix is available, avoid processing untrusted or malformed IRCAM audio files with vulnerable versions of libsndfile. Monitor vendor channels for updates regarding patches or mitigations.

Description

CVE-2025-52194 is a high-severity buffer overflow vulnerability in libsndfile version 1.2.2 and potentially earlier versions. It occurs when processing malformed IRCAM audio files, specifically in the ircam_read_header function during sample rate processing. This vulnerability can lead to memory corruption and potentially allow code execution. There are no known exploits in the wild and no patch or official remediation information is currently available.
