CVE-2015-8663: Ffmpeg

High severity, CVSS 8.3. EPSS: 1.9% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The ff_get_buffer function in libavcodec/utils.c in FFmpeg before 2.8.4 preserves width and height values after a failure, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds array access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted .mov file.
