Description Huzaifa S. Sidhpurwala 2015-02-24 03:07:31 EST

Security researcher Pantrombka reported a buffer overflow in the libstagefright library during video playback when certain invalid MP4 video files led to the allocation of a buffer that was too small for the content. This led to a potentially exploitable crash.
