FFmpeg · Ffmpeg · CVE-2017-16840
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
FFmpeg versions 3.0 through 3.4
**Description**
The issue is related to the VC-2 Video Compression encoder, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service due to an out-of-bounds read. This occurs because of incorrect buffer padding for non-Haar wavelets, specifically in the files libavcodec/vc2enc.c and libavcodec/vc2enc dwt.c.
**Recommendations**
For FFmpeg versions 3.0 through 3.4, consider updating to a version that addresses the incorrect buffer padding issue for non-Haar wavelets in the VC-2 Video Compression encoder. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
