Source: mp4v2
Version: 2.0.0~dfsg0-1
Severity: important
Tags: security upstream

Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for mp4v2.

CVE-2018-14379[0]:
| MP4Atom::factory in mp4atom.cpp in MP4v2 2.0.0 incorrectly uses the
| MP4ItemAtom data type in a certain case where MP4DataAtom is required,
| which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory
| corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted MP4
| file, because access to the data structure has different expectations
| about layout as a result of this type confusion.

If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
