CVE-2013-0860: Input Validation

First published: Sat Nov 23 2013(Updated: )

The ff_er_frame_end function in libavcodec/error_resilience.c in FFmpeg before 1.0.4 and 1.1.x before 1.1.1 does not properly verify that a frame is fully initialized, which allows remote attackers to trigger a NULL pointer dereference via crafted picture data.
