Buffer overflow in mjpegbdec.c in libavcodec in FFmpeg 0.7.x before 0.7.12 and 0.8.x before 0.8.11, 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, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted MJPEG-B file.
nsvdec.c in libavcodec in FFmpeg 0.7.x before 0.7.12 and 0.8.x before 0.8.11, 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, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and write) via a crafted NSV file that triggers "use of uninitialized streams."
The dv_extract_audio function in libavcodec in FFmpeg 0.7.x before 0.7.12 and 0.8.x before 0.8.11 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 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and application crash) via a crafted DV file.
The avpriv_dv_produce_packet function in libavcodec in FFmpeg 0.7.x before 0.7.12 and 0.8.x before 0.8.11 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 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted DV file.
Integer signedness error in the decode_residual_block function in cavsdec.c in libavcodec in FFmpeg before 0.7.3 and 0.8.x before 0.8.2, and libav through 0.7.1, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted Chinese AVS video (aka CAVS) file.
sp5xdec.c in the Sunplus SP5X JPEG decoder in libavcodec in FFmpeg before 0.6.3 and libav through 0.6.2, as used in VideoLAN VLC media player 1.1.9 and earlier and other products, performs a write operation outside the bounds of an unspecified array, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a malformed AMV file.
