A denial of service vulnerability in libvpx in Mediaserver could enable an attacker to use a specially crafted file to cause a device hang or reboot.

Comment 1 Andrej Nemec 2017-08-30 11:59:18 EDT
Created libvpx tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: fedora-all [bug 1486855]
Comment 2 Huzaifa S. Sidhpurwala 2017-08-31 02:07:12 EDT
Analysis:

This is essentially an application crash caused due to parsing large files. The patch ensures that when libvpx is compiled it can only process smaller files.
