NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ffmpeg package and not the ffmpeg package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

The export function in libavfilter/vf_signature.c in FFmpeg through 3.4.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-array access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a long filename.
