CVE-2017-15045
LAME 3.99, 3.99.1, 3.99.2, 3.99.3, 3.99.4, 3.99.5, 3.98.4, 3.98.2 and 3.98 has a heap-based buffer over-read in fill_buffer in libmp3lame/util.c, related to lame_encode_buffer_sample_t in libmp3lame/lame.c, a different vulnerability than CVE-2017-9410.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.91%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
