Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-Bounds. The mozilla::AudioSink function in Mozilla Firefox before 40.0 and Firefox ESR 38.x before 38.2 mishandles inconsistent sample formats within MP3 audio data, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a malformed file.
