The filter_slice function in libavfilter/vf_transpose.c in FFmpeg through 3.4.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-array access) via a crafted MP4 file.

Several security issues have been corrected in multiple demuxers and decoders of the libav multimedia library.

CVE-2015-1872

The ff_mjpeg_decode_sof function in libavcodec/mjpegdec.c did not validate the number of components in a JPEG-LS Start Of Frame segment, which allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds array access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted Motion JPEG data.

CVE-2017-14058

The read_data function in libavformat/hls.c did not restrict reload attempts for an insufficient list, which allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop).

CVE-2017-1000460

In get_last_needed_nal() (libavformat/h264.c) the return value of init_get_bits was ignored and get_ue_golomb(&gb) was called on an uninitialized get_bits context, which caused a NULL deref exception.

CVE-2018-6392

The filter_slice function in libavfilter/vf_transpose.c allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-array access) via a crafted MP4 file.

CVE-2018-1999012

libav contained a CWE-835: Infinite loop vulnerability in pva format demuxer that could result in a vulnerability that allowed attackers to consume excessive amount of resources like CPU and RAM. This attack appeared to be exploitable via specially crafted PVA file had to be provided as input.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 6:11.12-1~deb8u6.

We recommend that you upgrade your libav packages.

MITRE reports :

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in FFmpeg. Please refer to CVE list for details.

Note: CVE-2017-15186 and CVE-2017-15672 affect only the 3.3 branch before 3.3.5, CVE-2017-16840 and CVE-2017-17081 have been fixed in 3.4.1. They're listed here for completeness of the record.

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the FFmpeg multimedia framework, which could result in denial of service or potentially the execution of arbitrary code if malformed files/streams are processed.
