Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Read. The dnxhd_decode_header function in libavcodec/dnxhddec.c in FFmpeg 3.0 through 3.3.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-array access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted DNxHD file.
