FFmpeg · Ffmpeg · CVE-2018-7751
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
FFmpeg versions through 3.4.2
**Description**
The issue is related to the `svg probe` function in the `libavformat/img2dec.c` component of the FFmpeg library. It allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service due to an infinite loop via a crafted XML file. The exploitation of this issue can lead to a denial of service, where an attacker, acting remotely, can cause the service to become unavailable using a specially crafted XML file.
**Recommendations**
For FFmpeg versions through 3.4.2, as a temporary workaround, consider disabling the `svg probe` function until a patch is available.
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
