CVE-2018-13301

Published: 5 July 2018

In FFmpeg 4.0.1, due to a missing check of a profile value before setting it, the ff_mpeg4_decode_picture_header function in libavcodec/mpeg4videodec.c may trigger a NULL pointer dereference while converting a crafted AVI file to MPEG4, leading to a denial of service.
