Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2015-8365)

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

The smka_decode_frame function in libavcodec/smacker.c in FFmpeg before 2.6.5, 2.7.x before 2.7.3, and 2.8.x through 2.8.2 does not verify that the data size is consistent with the number of channels, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds array access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted Smacker data.


2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2015-8364)

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

Integer overflow in the ff_ivi_init_planes function in libavcodec/ivi.c in FFmpeg before 2.6.5, 2.7.x before 2.7.3, and 2.8.x through 2.8.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds heap-memory access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted image dimensions in Indeo Video Interactive data.
