The mp4ff_read_stsc function in common/mp4ff/mp4atom.c in Freeware Advanced Audio Decoder 2 (FAAD2) 2.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (large loop and CPU consumption) via a crafted mp4 file.

The product performs an iteration or loop without sufficiently limiting the number of times that the loop is executed.
