CVE-2014-9603  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-20  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:13 ffmpeg to version 7:2.5.1-1 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.

The vmd_decode function in libavcodec/vmdvideo.c in FFmpeg before 2.5.2 does not validate the relationship between a certain length value and the frame width, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds array access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted Sierra VMD video data.
