Vulnerability CVE-2015-8661

Vulnerability Name:

CVE-2015-8661 (CCN-109278)

Assigned:

2015-11-24

Published:

2015-11-24

Updated:

2018-12-21

Summary:

The h264_slice_header_init function in libavcodec/h264_slice.c in FFmpeg before 2.8.3 does not validate the relationship between the number of threads and the number of slices, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds array access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted H.264 data.
