AI-suggested

Until a fix is available, users should consider avoiding use of affected versions or implement application-level error handling to mitigate unexpected exits.

Description

libsndfile versions through 1.2.2 contain a reachable assertion in the mpeg_l3_encode.c file within the mpeg_l3_encoder_close function. This assertion failure may cause the application using libsndfile to exit unexpectedly. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 6.5, indicating a medium severity impact primarily affecting availability.
