+It is the intention to allow the greatest possible choice of freedom in

-In its current version, the Opus codec likely does NOT meet these
-security considerations, so it should be used with caution.
+The reference implementation contains no known buffer overflow or cases where
+a specially crafter packet or audio segment could cause a significant increase
+in CPU load. However, on certain CPU architectures where denormalized 
+floating-point operations result and handled through exceptions, it is possible
+for some audio content (e.g. silence or near-silence) to cause such an increase
+in CPU load. For such architectures, it is RECOMMENDED to add very small
+floating-point offsets to prevent significant numbers of denormalized
+operations. No such issue exists for the fixed-point reference implementation.
