More information:

Various security issues were discovered in faad2, a fast audio decoder, that would allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash due to memory failures or large CPU consumption) via a crafted mp4 file.

For Debian 7 Wheezy, these problems have been fixed in version 2.7-8+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your faad2 packages.
