CVE-2013-0867: Input Validation

First published: Sat Nov 23 2013(Updated: )

The decode_slice_header function in libavcodec/h264.c in FFmpeg before 1.1.2 does not properly check when the pixel format changes, which allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via crafted H.264 video data, related to an out-of-bounds array access.
