NVD Description

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

The format_line function in log.c in libavutil in FFmpeg before 1.2.1 uses inapplicable offset data during a certain category calculation, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid pointer dereference and application crash) via crafted data that triggers a log message.
