Heap-based buffer overflow in the decodeBlockWAVE function in IMA.cpp in
Audio File Library (aka audiofile) 0.3.6 allows remote attackers to cause a
denial of service (crash) via a crafted file.

+Subject: [PATCH] Actually fail when error occurs in parseFormat
+
+When there's an unsupported number of bits per sample or an invalid
+number of samples per block, don't only print an error message using
+the error handler, but actually stop parsing the file.
+
+This fixes #35 (also reported at
+https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1026983 and
+https://blogs.gentoo.org/ago/2017/02/20/audiofile-heap-based-buffer-overflow-in-imadecodeblockwave-ima-cpp/
