CVE-2012-0854
Published: 20 August 2012
The dpcm_decode_frame function in libavcodec/dpcm.c in FFmpeg before 0.9.1 does not use the proper pointer after an audio API change, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via unspecified vectors, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.
Notes

|---|---|
| jdstrand | from upstream, "Wrong pointer being used to write after recent audio API change." |
| mdeslaur | doesn't look like it affects libav 0.7 and older, and ffmpeg 0.5 |
