Subject: [oCERT-2011-002] libavcodec insufficient boundary check
#2011-002 libavcodec insufficient boundary check
Description:
The libavcodec library, an open source video encoding/decoding library part
of the FFmpeg and Libav projects, performs insufficient boundary check
against a buffer index. The missing check can result in arbitrary read/write
of data outside a destination buffer boundaries.
The vulnerability affects the Chinese AVS video (CAVS) file format decoder,
specially crafted CAVS files may lead to arbitrary code execution during
decoding.
Affected version:
FFmpeg <= 0.7.2, <= 0.8.1
Libav <= 0.7.1
The following packages were identified as affected as they statically
include libavcodec in their own packages.
MPlayer <= 1.0_rc4
Fixed version:
FFmpeg >= 0.7.3, >= 0.8.2
Libav, N/A
MPlayer, N/A
