CVE-2012-6618  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-119  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade ffmpeg to version 1.0.2 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-Bounds. The av_probe_input_buffer function in libavformat/utils.c in FFmpeg before 1.0.2, when running with certain -probesize values, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted MP3 file, possibly related to frame size or lack of sufficient "frames to estimate rate."
