Looking at the following page [1] you can see that the patched code is
in MPEG4Extractor. For Ubuntu, we don't use this file for anything. We
currently only use the opposite code, MPEG4Writer, for when we're
recording a video using the camera-app. For playback, GStreamer does
indeed do all of the container format parsing for every file type and
then passes the extracted video stream chunk by chunk to the MediaCodec
class over hybris [2].

Title:
  StageFright is still present in the container

Status in Canonical System Image:
  New
Status in android package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  While we do not use the whole libstagefright suite in Ubuntu Phones,
  all the binaries exist inside the lxc container.

  This is an oversight in cleaning up the android builds. please make
  sure these binaries get removed for saving space and not shipping
  unused android cruft.

  With the recent announcement of:

  https://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/924951

  this can cause confusion for users as it is not clear to them these
  binaries are not used
