Several issues have been found in faad2, a freeware Advanced Audio Decoder
player. They are related to heap buffer overflows or null pointer
dereferences, which both might allow an attacker to execute code by
providing crafted files.

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version
2.8.0~cvs20161113-1+deb9u3.
