CVE-2014-8544
HighSummary
In libavcodec/tiff.c in FFmpeg before version 2.4.2, bits-per-pixel fields are not properly validated, allowing remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted TIFF data.
Risk Assessment
Organizations may be exposed to attacks that lead to denial of service, affecting the availability of multimedia processing services.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update FFmpeg to version 2.4.2 or later to mitigate this vulnerability.

See all- CVE-2017-15672High
The read_header function in libavcodec/ffv1dec.c in FFmpeg 2.4 and 3.3.4 and possibly earlier allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via a crafted MP4 file, which triggers an out-of-bounds read.
- CVE-2017-14767High
The sdp_parse_fmtp_config_h264 function in libavformat/rtpdec_h264.c in FFmpeg before version 3.3.4 mishandles empty sprop-parameter-sets values, allowing remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted sdp file.
- CVE-2017-14225High
The av_color_primaries_name function in libavutil/pixdesc.c in FFmpeg 3.3.3 may return a NULL pointer depending on a value contained in a file, leading to a NULL pointer dereference in the avcodec_string function in libavcodec/utils.c.
- CVE-2012-2805High
Unspecified vulnerability in FFMPEG 0.10 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service.
- CVE-2017-11719High
The dnxhd_decode_header function in libavcodec/dnxhddec.c in FFmpeg versions 3.0 through 3.3.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-array access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted DNxHD file.
- CVE-2017-11665High
The ff_amf_get_field_value function in libavformat/rtmppkt.c in FFmpeg 3.3.2 allows remote RTMP servers to cause a denial of service via a crafted stream, leading to segmentation violation and application crash.

The cdxl_decode_frame function in libavcodec/cdxl.c in FFmpeg before versions 2.8.12, 3.0.8, 3.1.8, 3.2.5, and 3.3.1 does not exclude the CHUNKY format, allowing remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted file.
- CVE-2017-9995High
In libavcodec/scpr.c in FFmpeg version 3.3 and earlier, before version 3.3.1, height and width data is not properly validated, allowing remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted file.
- CVE-2017-9993High
FFmpeg versions before 2.8.12, 3.0.x and 3.1.x before 3.1.9, 3.2.x before 3.2.6, and 3.3.x before 3.3.2 do not properly restrict HTTP Live Streaming filename extensions and demuxer names, allowing attackers to read arbitrary files via crafted playlist data.
- CVE-2017-9992High
A heap-based buffer overflow in the decode_dds1 function in libavcodec/dfa.c in FFmpeg before 2.8.12, 3.0.x before 3.0.8, 3.1.x before 3.1.8, 3.2.x before 3.2.5, and 3.3.x before 3.3.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted file.
