Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Android versions prior to 2016-03-01

Description The issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted media file, related to decoder/ih264d parse islice.c and decoder/ih264d parse pslice.c. This is caused by a buffer overflow in the mediaserver component of the Android operating system.

Recommendations For Android versions prior to 2016-03-01, update the operating system to a version released after 2016-03-01 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of media files from untrusted sources to minimize the risk of exploitation.
