Thank you for following up on this.  I hope a fix show up from upstream
for this and other security issues. :)

I was just told on #xiph that this issue also might affect speex:

  <daddesio> rillian: speex may also be affected by that
    bark_noise_hybridmp bug (CVE-2017-14160) since it includes that very
    same function, via vorbis_psy.c.
  <daddesio> see:
    https://git.xiph.org/?p=speex.git;a=blob;f=libspeex/vorbis_psy.c;h=cb385b7a349486a09a3db20adf225100993111c5;hb=HEAD#l189

I have not verified that this is the case, but thought it best to
mention it here until someone have time to check it out.
