From ${URL} : Description Two vulnerabilities have been reported in FFmpeg, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service). 1) A NULL pointer dereference error within the "decode_frame()" function (libavcodec/dxa.c) can be exploited to cause a crash. 2) An out-of-bounds read error within the "h261_decode_mb()" function (libavcodec/h261dec.c) can be exploited to cause a crash. Solution: Fixed in the git repository. Provided and/or discovered by: The vendor credits Mateusz "j00ru" Jurczyk and Gynvael Coldwind.
