NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libav package and not the libav package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

The unpack_parse_unit function in libavcodec/dirac_parser.c in Libav 12.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) via a crafted file.
