Synopsis
========
FFmpeg is vulnerable to multiple buffer overflows that might be
exploited to execute arbitrary code.
Background
==========
FFmpeg is a very fast video and audio converter.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 media-video/ffmpeg < 0.4.9_p20060530 >= 0.4.9_p20060530
Description
===========
FFmpeg contains buffer overflows in the AVI processing code.
Impact
======
An attacker could trigger the buffer overflows by enticing a user to
load a specially crafted AVI file in an application using the FFmpeg
library. This might result in the execution of arbitrary code in the
context of the running application.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All FFmpeg users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-video/ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20060530"
Availability
============
This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at
the Gentoo Security Website:
