Update libFlac to the latest version of 1.3.2.

Project Member Reported by richard....@sap.com, Jun 20 2018

Issue description

Chrome Version: Our vulnerability scan was performed on Chromium embedded Framework 3.3396.1777, which contains Chromium 67.0.3396.79
OS: -

(3)

We perform OSS Security scans of Chromium embedded Framework / Chromium. The scan identified the memory leak, described in CVE-2017-6888 for the copy of project Flac 1.3.1, which is bundled in the Chromium project (see: https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/third_party/flac/README?sq&g=0).

More details about the vulnerability: CVE-2017-688: https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/third_party/flac/README?sq&g=0.

A correction in the flac project seems to be available with the following commit: https://git.xiph.org/?p=flac.git;a=commit;h=4f47b63e9c971e6391590caf00a0f2a5ed612e67

However I do not know, if this is even exploitable within Chromium.

best regards,
Richard Lorenz

Not sure if this is the right component.

We don't use libflac for decoding so this doesn't affect us, but probably still worth updating the library.

Thank you very much for your comment. In this case I would leave the decision completely up to you, if an update of the library should be performed.

Thanks,
Richard
