Not Vulnerable:

libFLAC 'src/libFLAC/stream_decoder.c' Stack Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

libFLAC is prone to a stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to perform adequate boundary-checks on user-supplied input.

An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition.
