CVE-2015-8217: Ffmpeg

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

The ff_hevc_parse_sps function in libavcodec/hevc_ps.c in FFmpeg before 2.8.2 does not validate the Chroma Format Indicator, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds array access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) data.

Affected products

• Ffmpeg Ffmpeg: up to and including 2.8.1
