FFmpeg · Ffmpeg · CVE-2018-13304
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
FFmpeg version 4.0.1
**Description**
The issue is related to improper maintenance of consistency between the context profile field and studio profile in libavcodec, which may trigger an assertion failure when converting a crafted AVI file to MPEG4. This can lead to a denial of service. The affected components include error resilience.c, h263dec.c, and mpeg4videodec.c. A remote attacker can exploit this issue using a specially crafted AVI file.
**Recommendations**
For FFmpeg version 4.0.1, consider disabling the affected components, such as error resilience.c, h263dec.c, and mpeg4videodec.c, as a temporary workaround to minimize the risk of exploitation.
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
