CVE-2015-6826 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
The Ubuntu security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Ubuntu:18.04.
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 ff_rv34_decode_init_thread_copy function in libavcodec/rv34.c in FFmpeg before 2.7.2 does not initialize certain structure members, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid pointer access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted (1) RV30 or (2) RV40 RealVideo data.
