Last Update Date: 14 Mar 2013 09:58 Release Date: 14 Mar 2013 4016 Views

RISK: Medium Risk

TYPE: Clients - Audio & Video

TYPE: Audio & Video

Two vulnerabilities have been identified in FFmpeg, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) and compromise an application using the library.

  1. An error within the "msrle_decode_8_16_24_32()" function (libavcodec/msrledec.c) when decoding Microsoft RLE encoded data can be exploited to cause an out of array access violation.
  2. An integer overflow error within the "iff_read_header()" function (libavformat/iff.c) when parsing CMAP chunks can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted header.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow execution of arbitrary code.
