NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream lame package and not the lame package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:14.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

The III_i_stereo function in layer3.c in mpglib, as used in libmpgdecoder.a in LAME 3.99.5 and other products, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack-based buffer overflow and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted audio file.
