Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions FFmpeg version 0.9.1

Description The issue is related to a heap-based buffer overflow in the ws snd decode frame function, which can be triggered by a crafted media file. This is due to an incorrect calculation, specifically a "wrong samples count." The result of this overflow is a denial of service, where the application crashes.

Recommendations For FFmpeg version 0.9.1, consider updating to a newer version that addresses this issue, as the current version allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted media file.
