CVE-2013-7019: Input Validation

First published: Mon Dec 09 2013(Updated: )

The get_cox function in libavcodec/jpeg2000dec.c in FFmpeg before 2.1 does not properly validate the reduction factor, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds array access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted JPEG2000 data.
