NVD Description

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

FFmpeg in Google Chrome prior to 56.0.2924.76 for Linux, Windows and Mac, failed to perform proper bounds checking, which allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted video file.
