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.

The zlib_refill function in libavformat/swfdec.c in FFmpeg before 3.1.3 allows remote attackers to cause an infinite loop denial of service via a crafted SWF file.
