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 lame_init_params function in lame.c in libmp3lame.a in LAME 3.99.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid read and application crash) via a crafted audio file with a negative sample rate.
