NVD Description

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

The faacEncOpen function in libfaac/frame.c in Freeware Advanced Audio Coder (FAAC) 1.28 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid memory read and application crash) via a crafted wav file.
