NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libmad-devel package and not the libmad-devel package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.4 relevant fixed versions and status.

The mad_layer_III function in layer3.c in Underbit MAD libmad 0.15.1b, if NDEBUG is omitted, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and application exit) via a crafted audio file.
