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_h2645_extract_rbsp function in libavcodec in libav 9.21 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read) or obtain sensitive information from process memory via a crafted h264 video file.
