Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-Bounds libavcodec/utils.c in FFmpeg before 2.4.2 omits a certain codec ID during enforcement of alignment, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted JV data.
