CVE-2016-2329

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In libavcodec/tiff.c in FFmpeg before version 2.8.6, RowsPerStrip values and YCbCr chrominance subsampling factors are not properly validated. This allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds array access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted TIFF file.

Risk Assessment

Organizations may be exposed to attacks leading to denial of service, affecting the availability of services and systems. Potential unspecified impacts may also threaten data integrity.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update FFmpeg to version 2.8.6 or later to mitigate this vulnerability. Additionally, monitor and restrict the processing of TIFF files from untrusted sources.
