NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libmp3splt package and not the libmp3splt package as distributed by Ubuntu.
plugins/ogg.c in Libmp3splt 0.9.2 calls the libvorbis vorbis_block_clear function with uninitialized data upon detection of invalid input, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted file.
