High severity, CVSS 7.5. EPSS: 2.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

libavcodec/utvideodec.c in FFmpeg before 2.5.2 does not check for a zero value of a slice height, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds array access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted Ut Video data, related to the (1) restore_median and (2) restore_median_il functions.

Affected products

  • Canonical Ubuntu Linux: version 12.04 only
  • Ffmpeg Ffmpeg: up to and including 2.5.1
