To be honest, I do not see any (security) problem here. If the audio file header is corrupted, oggenc simply cannot cannot open the file. From user's perspective it does not really matter whether the process is terminated by exit() or by the kernel handling a NULL pointer dereference. Please clarify what exactly is your concern here.

Does it mean that any crasher bug is considered a security issue?
Should we also track e.g. bug #1003607 as a security issue then?
