NVD Description

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

libavcodec/xface.h in FFmpeg before 2.5.2 establishes certain digits and words array dimensions that do not satisfy a required mathematical relationship, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds array access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted X-Face image data.
