Description

[REJECTED CVE] An out-of-bounds memory read in function psf_strlcpy_crlf when running test suite of libsndfile with address sanitizer enabled was found.

Statement

This CVE has been rejected upstream after analysis showed the issue originated from a flawed test case, not a real vulnerability. The test incorrectly passed sizeof(src)—a pointer size—causing false out-of-bounds warnings under AddressSanitizer. The test runs only during make check and has no impact on production. Vendor fixes also reflect the test's invalidity, confirming no security risk exists.
