- --------------------------BEGIN INCLUDED TEXT--------------------
Package : libav
Version : 6:11.12-1~deb8u5
CVE ID : CVE-2014-8542 CVE-2015-1207 CVE-2017-7863 CVE-2017-7865
CVE-2017-14169 CVE-2017-14223
Several security issues have been corrected in multiple demuxers and
decoders of the libav multimedia library.
CVE-2014-8542
libavcodec/utils.c omitted a certain codec ID during enforcement of
alignment, which allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of ervice
(out-of-bounds access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via
crafted JV data.
CVE-2015-1207
Double-free vulnerability in libavformat/mov.c allowed remote
attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and crash)
via a crafted .m4a file.
CVE-2017-7863
libav had an out-of-bounds write caused by a heap-based buffer
overflow related to the decode_frame_common function in
libavcodec/pngdec.c.
CVE-2017-7865
libav had an out-of-bounds write caused by a heap-based buffer
overflow related to the ipvideo_decode_block_opcode_0xA function in
libavcodec/interplayvideo.c and the avcodec_align_dimensions2
function in libavcodec/utils.c.
CVE-2017-14169
In the mxf_read_primer_pack function in libavformat/mxfdec.c in, an
integer signedness error might have occured when a crafted file,
claiming a large "item_num" field such as 0xffffffff, was provided.
As a result, the variable "item_num" turned negative, bypassing the
check for a large value.
CVE-2017-14223
In libavformat/asfdec_f.c a DoS in asf_build_simple_index() due to
lack of an EOF (End of File) check might have caused huge CPU
consumption. When a crafted ASF file, claiming a large "ict" field in
the header but not containing sufficient backing data, was provided,
the for loop would have consumed huge CPU and memory resources, since
there was no EOF check inside the loop.
For Debian 8 "Jessie", these problems have been fixed in version
6:11.12-1~deb8u5.
We recommend that you upgrade your libav packages.
