NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream x265 package and not the x265 package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:16.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

An integer underflow vulnerability exists in pixel-a.asm, the x86 assembly code for planeClipAndMax() in MulticoreWare x265 through 2.5, as used in libbpg and other products. A small height value can cause an integer underflow, which leads to a crash. This is a different vulnerability than CVE-2017-8906.
