NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream faad2 package and not the faad2 package as distributed by Ubuntu.

The mp4ff_read_stts function in common/mp4ff/mp4atom.c in Freeware Advanced Audio Decoder 2 (FAAD2) 2.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (large loop and CPU consumption) via a crafted mp4 file.
