CVE-2015-8216

Publication date 17 November 2015

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

The ljpeg_decode_yuv_scan function in libavcodec/mjpegdec.c in FFmpeg before 2.8.2 omits certain width and height checks, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds array access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted MJPEG data.
