2) Buffer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU42318

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 4.6 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2013-0861

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to manipulate data.

The avcodec_decode_audio4 function in libavcodec/utils.c in FFmpeg before 1.0.4 and 1.1.x before 1.1.1 allows remote attackers to trigger memory corruption via vectors related to the channel layout.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.

3) Input validation error

EUVDB-ID: #VU42324

Risk: High

CVSSv3.1: 8.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2013-0867

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.

The decode_slice_header function in libavcodec/h264.c in FFmpeg before 1.1.2 does not properly check when the pixel format changes, which allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via crafted H.264 video data, related to an out-of-bounds array access.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.
