+ commands when handling WAV files with specially crafted header fields.

+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ By enticing a user to play or convert a specially crafted WAV file an
+ attacker could execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user
+ running SoX.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time. All users are encouraged to
+ upgrade to the latest available version of SoX.

+ All SoX users should upgrade to the latest version:
