Submitted flac-1.3.2-1.mga5 to core/updates_testing.

Advisory:
=========

Updated flac packages fix security vulnerabilities

12_-_Sangre_Dolce.ogg: ERROR: out of memory or too many metadata blocks while reading metadata in FLAC input

Comment 4 Brian Rockwell 2017-03-10 04:40:34 CET
Ok - flac utility does not transcode from ogg.  So, it worked on wav files.  I think it is fine.  Approving and removing the feedback flag.
