Hi Roberto,

Sorry to bother you directly like this, especially as you're the webmaster but may not be an actual LAME developer - but you're the only project member who publishes an email address on the website.

On 26th.July.2017 a (Chinese?) security researcher has published on the Full Disclosure security mailing list details of 3 bugs he discovered in LAME that appear to be no worse than denial-of-service (crash):
http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2017/Jul/63

The bugs all have CVEs and appear to involve improper handling of malformed .wav files.  The researcher gives no indication that he has contacted the LAME project about the problem.

I just wanted to make sure you folks know about this - please make sure the right people at your end are aware.

Cheers
Nick
