Ubuntu Security Notice 1479-1 - Mateusz Jurczyk and Gynvael Coldwind discovered that FFmpeg incorrectly handled certain malformed DV files. If a user were tricked into opening a crafted DV file, an attacker could cause a denial of service via application crash, or possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program. Mateusz Jurczyk and Gynvael Coldwind discovered that FFmpeg incorrectly handled certain malformed NSV files. If a user were tricked into opening a crafted NSV file, an attacker could cause a denial of service via application crash, or possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program. Various other issues were also addressed.

It was discovered that FFmpeg incorrectly handled certain malformed Atrac 3
files. If a user were tricked into opening a crafted Atrac 3 file, an
attacker could cause a denial of service via application crash, or possibly
execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the
program. (CVE-2012-0853)
It was discovered that FFmpeg incorrectly handled certain malformed Shorten
files. If a user were tricked into opening a crafted Shorten file, an
attacker could cause a denial of service via application crash, or possibly
execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the
program. (CVE-2012-0858)
It was discovered that FFmpeg incorrectly handled certain malformed Vorbis
files. If a user were tricked into opening a crafted Vorbis file, an
attacker could cause a denial of service via application crash, or possibly
execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the
program. (CVE-2012-0859)
Fabian Yamaguchi discovered that FFmpeg incorrectly handled certain
malformed VQA files. If a user were tricked into opening a crafted VQA
file, an attacker could cause a denial of service via application crash, or
possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking
the program. (CVE-2012-0947)
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
libavcodec52 4:0.5.9-0ubuntu0.10.04.1
