Description Pedro Sampaio 2017-11-22 14:05:44 UTC 
A flaw was found in vorbis-tools 1.4.0-10. A uninitialized local variable in lib/info.c is used as a pointer and later freed, causing the program to crash while parsing a file with oggenc.

Created vorbis-tools tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: fedora-all [bug 1516379]
Comment 2 Kamil Dudka 2017-12-06 16:16:13 UTC 
The patch needs to be applied on libvorbis source code, not vorbis-tools.
