  * SECURITY UPDATE: Heap-based buffer overflow in the decodeMP4file function
    (frontend/main.c) in FAAD2 before 2.6.1 allows remote attackers to cause
    a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a
    crafted MPEG-4 (MP4) file. (Closes LP: #277110)
  * 12_heap_overflow.dpatch
    - Patch supplied by upstream to address vulnerability.
