The lame_init_params function in lame.c in libmp3lame.a in LAME 3.99.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid read and application crash) via a crafted audio file with a negative sample rate.

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

  - The lame_init_params function in lame.c in libmp3lame.a in LAME 3.99.5 allows remote attackers to cause a
    denial of service (invalid read and application crash) via a crafted audio file with a negative sample
    rate. (CVE-2015-9099)

  - The fill_buffer_resample function in util.c in libmp3lame.a in LAME 3.99.5 allows remote attackers to
    cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via a crafted audio file.
    (CVE-2015-9100)

  - The unpack_read_samples function in frontend/get_audio.c in LAME 3.99.5 allows remote attackers to cause a
    denial of service (invalid memory read and application crash) via a crafted wav file. (CVE-2017-9412)

  - There is a division-by-zero vulnerability in LAME 3.99.5, caused by a malformed input file.
    (CVE-2017-11720)

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - The lame_init_params function in lame.c in libmp3lame.a in LAME 3.99.5 allows remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (invalid read and application crash) via a crafted audio file with a negative sample     rate. (CVE-2015-9099)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4780-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that LAME incorrectly handled certain audio files. A remote attacker could possibly use     this issue to cause a denial of service. Eight vulnerabilities (CVE-2015-9099, CVE-2015-9100,     CVE-2015-9101, CVE-2017-15018, CVE-2017-11720, CVE-2017-8419, CVE-2017-9412, CVE-2017-15045) only affected     Ubuntu 14.04 ESM, two vulnerabilities (CVE-2017-9410 and CVE-2017-9411) only affected Ubuntu 16.04 ESM,     and one vulnerability (CVE-2017-15019) affected both Ubuntu 14.04 ESM and Ubuntu 16.04.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Update to 3.100 (#1470202, #1505107)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora update system website.
Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
