Insight

Insight

Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in ffmpeg: The Matroska format decoder in FFmpeg does not properly allocate memory, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted file (CVE-2011-3362, CVE-2011-3504). cavsdec.c in libavcodec in FFmpeg allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (incorrect write operation and application crash) via an invalid bitstream in a Chinese AVS video (aka CAVS) file, related to the decode_residual_block, check_for_slice, and cavs_decode_frame functions, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-3362 (CVE-2011-3973). Double free vulnerability in the Theora decoder in FFmpeg allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted stream (CVE-2011-3892). FFmpeg does not properly implement the MKV and Vorbis media handlers, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via unspecified vectors (CVE-2011-3893). Heap-based buffer overflow in the Vorbis decoder in FFmpeg allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted stream (CVE-2011-3895).
