CVE-2017-14059 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade Debian:9 ffmpeg to version 7:3.2.8-1~deb9u1 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:9 relevant fixed versions and status.
In FFmpeg 3.3.3, a DoS in cine_read_header() due to lack of an EOF check might cause huge CPU and memory consumption. When a crafted CINE file, which claims a large "duration" field in the header but does not contain sufficient backing data, is provided, the image-offset parsing loop would consume huge CPU and memory resources, since there is no EOF check inside the loop.
