For high values of the 2 bytes strf parameter in the audio header of a
video file, it is possible to overflow sh_audio->a_buffer, overwrite the
instruction pointer and execute arbitrary code.

Note that the advisory lists only the latest versions as vulnerable, but doesn't
exclude older versions as unaffected.
