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:14.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

The mov_read_dref function in libavformat/mov.c in Libav before 11.7 and FFmpeg before 0.11 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or execute arbitrary code via the entries value in a dref box in an MP4 file.
