NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream mp4v2 package and not the mp4v2 package as distributed by Ubuntu.

MP4NameFirstMatches in mp4util.cpp in MP4v2 2.0.0 mishandles substrings of atom names, leading to use of an inappropriate data type for associated atoms. The resulting type confusion can cause out-of-bounds memory access.
