CVE-2013-2277  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:12.04 libav to version 4:0.8.6-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 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 Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:12.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

The ff_h264_decode_seq_parameter_set function in h264_ps.c in libavcodec in FFmpeg before 1.1.3 does not validate the relationship between luma depth and chroma depth, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds array access and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted H.264 data.
