Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions LAME version 3.99.5

Description The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in a stack-based buffer overflow and application crash, or possibly have other unspecified impacts via a crafted audio file. This is due to a problem in the III i stereo function in layer3.c in mpglib, as used in libmpgdecoder.a.

Recommendations For LAME version 3.99.5, consider avoiding the use of crafted audio files until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, restrict the processing of audio files from untrusted sources to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
