Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Uncontrolled Recursion through the recursive freeing of linked lists in the av_encryption_init_info_free function. An attacker can cause the process to crash and consume excessive CPU resources by supplying a specially crafted MP4 file containing a large number of small pssh boxes.
