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 dnxhd_decode_header function in libavcodec/dnxhddec.c in FFmpeg 3.0 through 3.3.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-array access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted DNxHD file.
