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 add_doubles_metadata function in libavcodec/tiff.c in FFmpeg before 1.1 allows remote attackers to have an unspecified impact via a negative or zero count value in a TIFF image, which triggers an out-of-bounds array access.
