New submission from JohnLeitch:
The audioop.lin2adpcm function suffers from a buffer over-read caused by
unchecked access to stepsizeTable at line 1436 of Modules\audioop.c:
} else if ( !PyArg_ParseTuple(state, "ii", &valpred, &index) )
return 0;
step = stepsizeTable[index];
Because the index variable can be controlled via the third parameter of
audioop.lin2adpcm, this behavior could potentially be exploited to disclose
arbitrary memory, should an application expose the parameter to the attack
surface.

To fix this issue, it is recommended that bounds checking be performed prior to
accessing stepsizeTable.
