CVE-2012-0847

Published: 20 August 2012

Heap-based buffer overflow in the avfilter_filter_samples function in libavfilter/avfilter.c in FFmpeg before 0.9.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted media file.

per upstream, "Simple case of missing check, there wasnt much using
the audio filters so this probably is not practically exploitable"
mdeslaur
code not present in ffmpeg 0.5.x
code is different in libav, doesn't appear vulnerable.
