Positive Technologies (AI Summary)

CVSS v2.0

7.5

High

Base vector

AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions FFmpeg versions prior to 2.5.2

Description The issue is related to the vmd decode function in libavcodec/vmdvideo.c, which does not validate the relationship between a certain length value and the frame width. This allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds array access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted Sierra VMD video data.

Recommendations For versions prior to 2.5.2, update to version 2.5.2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the vmd decode function until a patch is available.
