The ff_h263_decode_mba function in libavcodec/ituh263dec.c in Libav before 11.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and application crash) via a file with crafted dimensions.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in libav :

CVE-2015-1872

The ff_mjpeg_decode_sof function in libavcodec/mjpegdec.c in Libav before 0.8.18 does not validate the number of components in a JPEG-LS Start Of Frame segment, which allows 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-2015-5479

The ff_h263_decode_mba function in libavcodec/ituh263dec.c in Libav before 11.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and application crash) via a file with crafted dimensions.

CVE-2016-7393

The aac_sync function in libavcodec/aac_parser.c in Libav before 11.5 is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 6:0.8.18-0+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your libav packages.

This update for libav fixes the two following security issues :

  - CVE-2016-3062: A MP4 memory corruption was fixed that     could lead to crashes or code execution. (boo#984487)

  - CVE-2015-5479: A crash due to a divide by zero was fixed     in ff_h263_decode_mba() that could lead to decoder     crashes. (boo#949760)

It was discovered that Libav incorrectly handled certain malformed media files. If a user were tricked into opening a crafted media 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.
