DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in FFmpeg, which can be
exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) and
potentially compromise an application using the library.
1) A boundary error within the DV decoder can be exploited to cause
an out-of-bounds read via specially crafted media files.
2) An NULL-pointer dereference error within the DV decoder can be
exploited to cause a crash via specially crafted media files.
3) A double-free error within the "vp3_update_thread_context()"
function (libavcodec/vp3.c) can be exploited via specially crafted
media files.
4) An error within the "codec_get_buffer()" function (ffmpeg.c) can
be exploited via specially crafted media files.
5) An error within the "ff_h263_decode_frame()" function
(libavformat/nsvdec.c) can be exploited via specially crafted media
files.
6) A boundary error within the "nsv_read_chunk()" function
(libavformat/nsvdec.c) can be exploited to cause an out-of-bounds
write via specially crafted media files.
7) An error within the "decode_mb()" function
(libavcodec/error_resilience.c) can be exploited to cause an
out-of-bounds write via specially crafted media files.
8) An error within the "smacker_decode_header_tree()" function
(libavcodec/smacker.c) can be exploited via specially crafted media
files.
9) An error within the "decode_frame()" function
(libavcodec/kgv1dec.c) can be exploited via specially crafted media
files.
10) An error within the H264 decoder can be exploited to cause an
infinite loop via specially crafted media files.
11) An error within the "read_offs()" function
(libavcodec/mjpegbdec.c) can be exploited via specially crafted media
files.
12) An error within the "dirac_unpack_idwt_params()" function
(libavcodec/diracdec.c) can be exploited via specially crafted media
files.
13) An error within the "dirac_decode_data_unit()" function
(libavcodec/diracdec.c) can be exploited via specially crafted media
files.
14) An error within the "dpcm_decode_frame()" function
(libavcodec/dpcm.c) can be exploited via specially crafted media
files.
15) An error within the "decode_init()" function (libavcodec/kmvc.c)
can be exploited via specially crafted media files.
16) An error within the "rv20_decode_picture_header()" function
(libavcodec/rv10.c) can be exploited to cause a crash via specially
crafted Matroska files.
17) A NULL-pointer dereference error within the "decode_mb_info()"
function (libavcodec/indeo5.c) can be exploited to cause a crash via
specially crafted media files.
