Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2017-09-19 07:57:04 UTC
Description:
bladeenc is an mp3 encoder.

There is a write overflow by default without a crafted file in the bladeenc command-line tool. The upstream website does not work anymore for me.
The complete ASan output of the issue:

@maintainer(s): after the bump, in case we need to stabilize the package, please let us know if it is ready for the stabilization or not.

Maintainer(s): Ping.

bladeenc's homepage seems to be gone for a long time. It looks like few others have this package, it may be time to think of last-riting it. The only reverse dependency FWICS is media-sound/rip, last update early 2003.
