Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2012-10-20 10:24:42 UTC
1) Some errors within the libavcodec library when parsing ASF, QT, and WMV files can be exploited to corrupt memory.

2) An error within the "ff_compute_band_indexes()" function (libavcodec/mpegaudiodec.c) can be exploited to corrupt memory. 

Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities may allow execution of arbitrary code.

Fixed in 0.8.4 still not released
