Dist Debian Esm H88
Multiple vulnerabilities patched in the libav media processing library. Update now to reduce potential denial of service threats.
Several security issues have been corrected in multiple demuxers and decoders of the libav multimedia library

Summary

CVE-2015-1872

The ff_mjpeg_decode_sof function in libavcodec/mjpegdec.c did not
validate the number of components in a JPEG-LS Start Of Frame
segment, which allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service
(out-of-bounds array access) or possibly have unspecified other
impact via crafted Motion JPEG data.

CVE-2017-14058

The read_data function in libavformat/hls.c did not restrict reload
attempts for an insufficient list, which allowed remote attackers to
cause a denial of service (infinite loop).

CVE-2017-1000460

In get_last_needed_nal() (libavformat/h264.c) the return value of
init_get_bits was ignored and get_ue_golomb(&gb) was called on an
uninitialized get_bits context, which caused a NULL deref exception.

CVE-2018-6392

The filter_slice function in libavfilter/vf_transpose.c allowed
remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-array access)
via a crafted MP4 file.

CVE-2018-1999012
