Is it known what other FLAC decoding software or firmware is vulnerable
to these overflows?

Any software player that was derived from the official FLAC codebase
probably is, and most active 3rd party developers will probably get a
new release out soon anyway, even if their code was not vulnerable.

Embedded systems with native FLAC playback, such as DVD players and
portable devices, may never get updated.
