CWE-119  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade ffmpeg to version 1.2.1 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-Bounds. The gif_decode_frame function in gifdec.c in libavcodec in FFmpeg before 1.2.1 does not properly manage the disposal methods of frames, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds array access and application crash) via crafted GIF data.
