1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-11498)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in the WavpackSetConfiguration64() function in the pack_utils.c file within the libwavpack.a. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted DFF file that lacks valid sample-rate data and crash the affected application.
