Discussion

FFmpeg Format String And Multiple Integer Overflow Vulnerabilities

FFmpeg is prone to a remote format-string vulnerability and multiple integer overflow vulnerabilities because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before passing it as a format specifier to a formatted-printing function.

An attacker may exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code in the context of the vulnerable application. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in a denial-of-service condition.

Versions prior to FFmpeg 0.10.1 are vulnerable.
