NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libav package and not the libav package as distributed by Debian.

The h264_slice_init function in libavcodec/h264_slice.c in Libav 12.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault and application crash) via a crafted file.
