  The av_probe_input_buffer function in libavformat/utils.c in FFmpeg before
  1.0.2, when running with certain -probesize values, allows remote attackers
  to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted MP3 file, possibly
  related to frame size or lack of sufficient "frames to estimate rate."

  The prepare_sdp_description function in ffserver.c in FFmpeg before 1.0.2

  related to the rtp format.

  The mov_text_decode_frame function in libavcodec/movtextdec.c in FFmpeg

  (out-of-bounds read and crash) via crafted 3GPP TS 26.245 data.
