There is no fixed version for Debian:8 mp4v2.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream mp4v2 package and not the mp4v2 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

The function mp4v2::impl::MP4Track::FinishSdtp() in mp4track.cpp in libmp4v2 2.1.0 mishandles compatibleBrand while processing a crafted mp4 file, which leads to a heap-based buffer over-read, causing denial of service.
