CVE-2015-8218: Ffmpeg

Medium severity, CVSS 6.8. EPSS: 1.8% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The decode_uncompressed function in libavcodec/faxcompr.c in FFmpeg before 2.8.2 does not validate uncompressed runs, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds array access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted CCITT FAX data.

Affected products

• Ffmpeg Ffmpeg: up to and including 2.8.1
