commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=3426b37ebb2e8eee94375f58ea63992f0651cbb2
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

It was discovered the fix for CVE-2018-19758 (libsndfile) was not
complete and still allows a read beyond the limits of a buffer in
wav_write_header() function in wav.c. A local attacker may use this flaw
to make the application crash.

+If loop_count is bigger than the array, truncate it to the array
