Package : ffmpeg
Date : December 5, 2009
Affected: 2008.0
_______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

Vulnerabilities have been discovered and corrected in ffmpeg:

- The ffmpeg lavf demuxer allows user-assisted attackers to cause
a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted GIF file
(CVE-2008-3230)

- FFmpeg 0.4.9, as used by MPlayer, allows context-dependent attackers
to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via unknown vectors,
aka a Tcp/udp memory leak. (CVE-2008-4869)

- Integer signedness error in the fourxm_read_header function in
libavformat/4xm.c in FFmpeg before revision 16846 allows remote
attackers to execute arbitrary code via a malformed 4X movie file with
a large current_track value, which triggers a NULL pointer dereference
(CVE-2009-0385)

The updated packages fix this issue.

Update:

Packages for 2008.0 are being provided due to extended support for
Corporate products.
