NVD Description

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

Integer overflow in the alac_decode_close function in libavcodec/alac.c in FFmpeg before 1.1 allows remote attackers to have an unspecified impact via a large number of samples per frame in Apple Lossless Audio Codec (ALAC) data, which triggers an out-of-bounds array access.
