CWE-119  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Echo:latest ffmpeg to version 7:2.4.3-1 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 Echo. See How to fix? for Echo:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

libavcodec/gifdec.c in FFmpeg before 2.4.2 does not properly compute image heights, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted GIF data.
