NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream lame package and not the lame package as distributed by Ubuntu.

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.
