CVE-2015-8216  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-17  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade ffmpeg to version 2.8.2 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Code. The ljpeg_decode_yuv_scan function in libavcodec/mjpegdec.c in FFmpeg before 2.8.2 omits certain width and height checks, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds array access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted MJPEG data.
