in the USN-7397-1 advisory.

    Xiantong Hou discovered that AOM did not properly handle certain malformed media files. If an application
    using AOM opened a specially crafted file, a remote attacker could cause a denial of service, or possibly
    execute arbitrary code.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.
