CWE-20  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade ffmpeg to version 2.7.2 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Input Validation. The ff_rv34_decode_init_thread_copy function in libavcodec/rv34.c in FFmpeg before 2.7.2 does not initialize certain structure members, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid pointer access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted (1) RV30 or (2) RV40 RealVideo data.
