CWE-399  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:8 libav to version 6:10.3-1 or higher.

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 ff_h264_decode_sei function in libavcodec/h264_sei.c in FFmpeg before 0.10 allows remote attackers to have an unspecified impact via crafted Supplemental enhancement information (SEI) data, which triggers an infinite loop.
