NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream lame-libs package and not the lame-libs package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

LAME through 3.99.5 relies on the signed integer data type for values in a WAV or AIFF header, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack-based buffer overflow or heap-based buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted file, as demonstrated by mishandling of num_channels.
