NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream firefox package and not the firefox package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

Integer overflow in the MPEG4Extractor::readMetaData function in MPEG4Extractor.cpp in libstagefright in Mozilla Firefox before 43.0 and Firefox ESR 38.x before 38.5 on 64-bit platforms allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted MP4 video file that triggers a buffer overflow.
