How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:13 ffmpeg to version 2.8.5-1 or higher.

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:13 relevant fixed versions and status.

libavcodec/pngenc.c in FFmpeg before 2.8.5 uses incorrect line sizes in certain row calculations, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds array access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted .avi file, related to the apng_encode_frame and encode_apng functions.
