Several security issues were fixed in libsndfile.

Details
It was discovered that libsndfile incorrectly handled certain malformed
files. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause libsndfile to crash,
resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
Update instructions
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:
Ubuntu 18.10
Ubuntu 18.04

After a standard system update you need to restart your session to make all
the necessary changes.
