NVD Description

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

In Libav 12.3, there is a heap-based buffer over-read in decode_frame in libavcodec/lcldec.c that allows an attacker to cause denial-of-service via a crafted avi file.
