Advisory:
========================

Updated wavpack packages fix security vulnerability:

WavPack 5.3.0 has an out-of-bounds write in WavpackPackSamples in pack_utils.c
because of an integer overflow in a malloc argument (CVE-2020-35738).

Comment 6 Herman Viaene 2021-06-22 11:20:39 CEST 
MGA7-64 Plasma on Lenovo B50
No installation issues
Ref bug 22588 for test, so installed gstreamer1.0-wavpack as well.
At CLI
$  wavpack -h 02\ Zapfenstreich.wav  -o Zapf

 WAVPACK  Hybrid Lossless Audio Compressor  Linux Version 5.1.0
 Copyright (c) 1998 - 2017 David Bryant.  All Rights Reserved.

created Zapf.wv in 1.22 secs (lossless, 44.81%) 
The resulting Zapf.wv file plays OK and its size is 18.1 Mb compared to the original 32.8, which is 55.18292 % on my calculator, which fits the reported compression nicely.
OK for me.
