Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions FFmpeg versions prior to 0.9.1

Description The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in an application crash. This is achieved through a crafted mpg file that triggers memory corruption, likely due to a buffer underflow involving the v off variable.

Recommendations For versions prior to 0.9.1, update to version 0.9.1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the processing of mpg files from untrusted sources until the update is applied.
