Description
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to read and manipulate data.
The rpza_decode_stream function in libavcodec/rpza.c in FFmpeg before 2.1 does not properly maintain a pointer to pixel data, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds array access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted Apple RPZA data.
Remediation
