Description GLSAMaker/CVETool Bot gentoo-dev 2015-07-01 14:57:25 UTC
CVE-2014-9676 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2014-9676):
  The seg_write_packet function in libavformat/segment.c in ffmpeg 2.1.4 and
  earlier does not free the correct memory location, which allows remote
  attackers to cause a denial of service ("invalid memory handler") and
  possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted video that triggers a use
  after free.
