Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-Bounds. Multiple off-by-one errors in libavcodec/vorbisdec.c in FFmpeg before 2.4.2, as used in Google Chrome before 40.0.2214.91, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted Vorbis I data.
