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 che_configure function in libavcodec/aacdec_template.c in FFmpeg before 3.2.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (allocation of huge memory, and being killed by the OS) via a crafted MOV file.
