CWE-20  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable ffmpeg to version 7:2.4.1-1 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:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

The ff_er_frame_end function in libavcodec/error_resilience.c in FFmpeg before 1.0.4 and 1.1.x before 1.1.1 does not properly verify that a frame is fully initialized, which allows remote attackers to trigger a NULL pointer dereference via crafted picture data.
