mp3gain: stack-based buffer overflow in filterYule (gain_analysis.c)

["Agostino Sarubbo" <ago () gentoo org>]

Description:
mp3gain is a program to analyze and adjust MP3 files to same volume.

The fuzz was done via the aacgain command-line tool which uses mp3gain.
The upstream project seems to be dead, so the issue wasn’t communicated to them.
