CWE-17  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:15.04 ffmpeg to version 7:2.5.9-0ubuntu0.15.04.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ffmpeg package and not the ffmpeg package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:15.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

The ljpeg_decode_yuv_scan function in libavcodec/mjpegdec.c in FFmpeg before 2.8.2 omits certain width and height checks, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds array access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted MJPEG data.
