For the record,
  -> http://blog.securitymouse.com/2014/07/i-was-wrong-proving-lz4-exploitable.html

Summary: effectively, this post proves that

  - Exploits can be written against current implementations of LZ4
  - Block sizes less than 8MB (and even less than 4MB) can be malicious
  - Certain platforms are more affected than others (primarily RISC: ARM)
  - Protecting against the 16MB and greater flaw was not sufficient
