Package: lv2-dev
Version: 1.14.0~dfsg1-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

The following header makes use of smallest possible pointer in LV2_Event_Buffer struct's data field.

lv2/lv2plug.in/ns/ext/event/event.h

Please change it to biggest possible pointer. It should be definitely void* type because the memory
pointed by data shall contain another struct LV2_Event.

This describes an integer overflow. There shouldn't be any overflow.
