NVD Description

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

The decode_frame function in libavcodec/utvideodec.c in FFmpeg through 3.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out of array read) via a crafted AVI file.
