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.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

This update introduces lame and twolame.

For ffmpeg2 it updates to version 2.8.13 and fixes several issues.

These security issues were fixed :

  - 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) (bsc#1056762)

  - CVE-2017-14057: In asf_read_marker() due to lack of an     EOF (End of File) check might have caused huge CPU and     memory consumption. When a crafted ASF file, which     claims a large 'name_len' or 'count' field in the header     but did not contain sufficient backing data, was     provided, the loops over the name and markers would     consume huge CPU and memory resources, since there is no     EOF check inside these loops (bsc#1056761)

  - CVE-2017-14059: A DoS in cine_read_header() due to lack     of an EOF check might have caused huge CPU and memory     consumption. When a crafted CINE file, which claims a     large 'duration' field in the header but did not contain     sufficient backing data, was provided, the image-offset     parsing loop would consume huge CPU and memory     resources, since there is no EOF check inside the loop     (bsc#1056763)

  - CVE-2017-14056: A DoS in rl2_read_header() due to lack     of an EOF (End of File) check might have caused huge CPU     and memory consumption. When a crafted RL2 file, which     claims a large 'frame_count' field in the header but did     not contain sufficient backing data, was provided, the     loops (for offset and size tables) would consume huge     CPU and memory resources, since there is no EOF check     inside these loops (bsc#1056760)

  - CVE-2017-14055: a DoS in mv_read_header() due to lack of     an EOF (End of File) check might have caused huge CPU     and memory consumption.

Moreover, this big loop can be     invoked multiple times if there is more than one     applicable data segment in the crafted MXF file     (bsc#1057537)

  - CVE-2017-14171: Prevent DoS in nsv_parse_NSVf_header()     due to lack of an EOF (End of File) check taht might     have caused huge CPU consumption. When a crafted NSV     file, which claims a large 'table_entries_used' field in     the header but did not contain sufficient backing data,     was provided, the loop over 'table_entries_used' would     consume huge CPU resources, since there was no EOF check     inside the loop (bsc#1057539)
