NVD Description

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

Heap-based buffer overflow in the decode_block function in libavcodec/exr.c in FFmpeg before 3.1.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via vectors involving tile positions.
