NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream faad2 package and not the faad2 package as distributed by Ubuntu.
See How to fix? for Ubuntu:14.04 relevant fixed versions and status.
An issue was discovered in Freeware Advanced Audio Decoder 2 (FAAD2) 2.8.8. The faad_resetbits function in libfaad/bits.c is affected by a buffer overflow vulnerability. The number of bits to be read is determined by ld->buffer_size - words4, cast to uint32. If ld->buffer_size - words4 is negative, a buffer overflow is later performed via getdword_n(&ld->start[words], ld->bytes_left).
