How to fix?

Upgrade ffmpeg to version 0.9.1 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-Bounds. The sbr_qmf_synthesis function in libavcodec/aacsbr.c in FFmpeg before 0.9.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted mpg file that triggers memory corruption involving the v_off variable, probably a buffer underflow.
