CVE-2012-0854

FFmpeg < 0.9.1 - Denial of Service via Heap-Based Buffer Overflow in dpcm_decode_frame

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

The dpcm_decode_frame function in libavcodec/dpcm.c in FFmpeg before 0.9.1 does not use the proper pointer after an audio API change, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via unspecified vectors, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.
