Synopsis ========
A buffer overflow in FAAD2 might lead to user-assisted execution of arbitrary code via an MP4 file.
Background ==========
FAAD2 is an open source MPEG-4 and MPEG-2 AAC decoder.
Affected packages =================
------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 media-libs/faad2 < 2.6.1-r2 >=3D 2.6.1-r2
Description ===========
The ICST-ERCIS (Peking University) reported a heap-based buffer overflow in the decodeMP4file() function in frontend/main.c.
Impact ======
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted MPEG-4 (MP4) file in an application using FAAD2, possibly leading to the execution of arbitrary code.
Workaround ==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution ==========
All FAAD2 users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=3Dmedia-libs/faad2-2.6.1-r2"
