NVD Description

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

There exists a heap-based buffer overflow in vc1_decode_i_block_adv in vc1_block.c in Libav 12.3, which allows attackers to cause a denial-of-service via a crafted aac file.
