Discussion

FFmpeg libavcodec 'flicvideo.c' Heap Based Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

FFmpeg is prone to a heap-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data.

Attackers can leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application. Failed attacks will cause denial-of-service conditions.

Versions prior to and including FFmpeg 0.6 are vulnerable.
