 Replying to [ticket:60820 manxorist]:
 > Please either update to at least [http://www.mega-
 nerd.com/libsndfile/files/1.0.29pre2/libsndfile-1.0.29pre2.tar.bz2] or get
 the fixes for this CVE (and others) from
 [https://github.com/erikd/libsndfile/tree/master]. See
 [https://github.com/erikd/libsndfile/issues/470] for further discussion.

 Usually we would like to use stable releases. In this case the developer
 has not made a stable release in over 3 years and complains about not
 having time to do a proper release. While I understand his position it
 doesn't help us get working software to our users.

 It looks like an additional CVE was fixed on master after 1.0.29pre2 so
 maybe the simplest would be for us to use what's currently master, and
 update it periodically if new commits appear there, and then return to
 stable versions if and when 1.0.29 final is released.
