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 avi_read_nikon function in libavformat/avidec.c in FFmpeg before 3.1.4 is vulnerable to infinite loop when it decodes an AVI file that has a crafted 'nctg' structure.
