NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libde265 package and not the libde265 package as distributed by Ubuntu.

libde265 is an open source implementation of the h.265 video codec. Prior to version 1.0.17, a malformed H.265 PPS NAL unit causes a segmentation fault in pic_parameter_set::set_derived_values(). This issue has been patched in version 1.0.17.
