NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libvpx package and not the libvpx package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

The decrease_ref_count function in libvpx in Mozilla Firefox before 40.0 and Firefox ESR 38.x before 38.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via malformed WebM video data.
