The H.263 codec (libavcodec/h263dec.c) in FFmpeg 0.7.x before 0.7.12, 0.8.x before 0.8.11, and unspecified versions before 0.10, and in Libav 0.5.x before 0.5.9, 0.6.x before 0.6.6, 0.7.x before 0.7.5, and 0.8.x before 0.8.1 has unspecified impact and attack vectors related to "width/height changing with frame threads."

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201310-12 (FFmpeg: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in FFmpeg. Please review       the CVE identifiers and FFmpeg changelogs referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted media       file, possibly leading to the execution of arbitrary code with the       privileges of the user running the application or a Denial of Service.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Bundled version of libav in gstreamer-ffmpeg contains a number of vulnerabilities.

Updated ffmpeg packages fix security vulnerabilities :

h264: Add check for invalid chroma_format_idc (CVE-2012-0851)

h263dec: Disallow width/height changing with frame threads (CVE-2011-3937)

vc1dec: check that coded slice positions and interlacing match. This fixes out of array writes (CVE-2012-2796)

alsdec: fix number of decoded samples in first sub-block in BGMC mode (CVE-2012-2790)

cavsdec: check for changing w/h. Our decoder does not support changing w/h (CVE-2012-2777, CVE-2012-2784)

indeo4: update AVCodecContext width/height on size change (CVE-2012-2787)

avidec: use actually read size instead of requested size (CVE-2012-2788)

wmaprodec: check num_vec_coeffs for validity (CVE-2012-2789)

lagarith: check count before writing zeros (CVE-2012-2793)

indeo3: fix out of cell write (CVE-2012-2776)

indeo5: check tile size in decode_mb_info\(\). This prevents writing into a too small array if some parameters changed without the tile being reallocated (CVE-2012-2794)

indeo5dec: Make sure we have had a valid gop header. This prevents decoding happening on a half initialized context (CVE-2012-2779)

indeo4/5: check empty tile size in decode_mb_info\(\). This prevents writing into a too small array if some parameters changed without the tile being reallocated (CVE-2012-2800)

dfa: improve boundary checks in decode_dds1\(\) (CVE-2012-2798)

dfa: check that the caller set width/height properly (CVE-2012-2786)

avsdec: Set dimensions instead of relying on the demuxer. The decode function assumes that the video will have those dimensions (CVE-2012-2801)

ac3dec: ensure get_buffer\(\) gets a buffer for the correct number of channels (CVE-2012-2802)

rv34: error out on size changes with frame threading (CVE-2012-2772)

alsdec: check opt_order. Fixes out of array write in quant_cof. Also make sure no invalid opt_order stays in the context (CVE-2012-2775)

This updates ffmpeg to version 0.10.6 which contains the security fixes above as well as other bug fixes.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201210-06 (Libav: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Libav. Please review       the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted media       file in an application linked against Libav, possibly resulting in       execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the application or a       Denial of Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in ffmpeg :

The Matroska format decoder in FFmpeg does not properly allocate memory, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted file (CVE-2011-3362, CVE-2011-3504).

cavsdec.c in libavcodec in FFmpeg allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (incorrect write operation and application crash) via an invalid bitstream in a Chinese AVS video (aka CAVS) file, related to the decode_residual_block, check_for_slice, and cavs_decode_frame functions, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-3362 (CVE-2011-3973).

Integer signedness error in the decode_residual_inter function in cavsdec.c in libavcodec in FFmpeg allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (incorrect write operation and application crash) via an invalid bitstream in a Chinese AVS video (aka CAVS) file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-3362 (CVE-2011-3974).

Double free vulnerability in the Theora decoder in FFmpeg allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted stream (CVE-2011-3892).

FFmpeg does not properly implement the MKV and Vorbis media handlers, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via unspecified vectors (CVE-2011-3893).

Heap-based buffer overflow in the Vorbis decoder in FFmpeg allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted stream (CVE-2011-3895).

An error within the QDM2 decoder (libavcodec/qdm2.c) can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow (CVE-2011-4351).

An integer overflow error within the 'vp3_dequant()' function (libavcodec/vp3.c) can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow (CVE-2011-4352).

Errors within the 'av_image_fill_pointers()', the 'vp5_parse_coeff()', and the 'vp6_parse_coeff()' functions can be exploited to trigger out-of-bounds reads (CVE-2011-4353).

It was discovered that Libav incorrectly handled certain malformed VMD files. If a user were tricked into opening a crafted VMD file, an attacker could cause a denial of service via application crash, or possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program (CVE-2011-4364).

It was discovered that Libav incorrectly handled certain malformed SVQ1 streams. If a user were tricked into opening a crafted SVQ1 stream file, an attacker could cause a denial of service via application crash, or possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program (CVE-2011-4579).

Multiple input validations in the decoders/ demuxers for Westwood Studios VQA, Apple MJPEG-B, Theora, Matroska, Vorbis, Sony ATRAC3, DV, NSV, files could lead to the execution of arbitrary code (CVE-2011-3929, CVE-2011-3936, CVE-2011-3937, CVE-2011-3940, CVE-2011-3945, CVE-2011-3947, CVE-2012-0853, CVE-2012-0858).

The updated packages have been upgraded to the 0.7.12 version where these issues has been corrected.
