Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions FFmpeg versions prior to 0.9.1 Libav versions 0.5.x through 0.5.8 Libav versions 0.6.x through 0.6.5 Libav versions 0.7.x through 0.7.5 Libav versions 0.8.x through 0.8.2

Description The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, potentially leading to application crashes, and possibly execute arbitrary code. This is achieved through an ADPCM file where the number of channels is not equal to two, exploiting the adpcm decode frame function in adpcm.c in libavcodec.

Recommendations For FFmpeg versions prior to 0.9.1, update to version 0.9.1 or later. For Libav versions 0.5.x through 0.5.8, update to version 0.5.9 or later. For Libav versions 0.6.x through 0.6.5, update to version 0.6.6 or later. For Libav versions 0.7.x through 0.7.5, update to version 0.7.6 or later. For Libav versions 0.8.x through 0.8.2, update to version 0.8.3 or later.
