          CVE-2017-14225
Package : ffmpeg2.8
Type    : denial of service
Remote  : Yes
Link    : https://security.archlinux.org/AVG-405

Summary
=======

The package ffmpeg2.8 before version 2.8.13-1 is vulnerable to denial
of service.

Resolution
==========

Upgrade to 2.8.13-1.

# pacman -Syu "ffmpeg2.8>=2.8.13-1"

The problems have been fixed upstream in version 2.8.13.

Workaround
==========

None.

Description
===========

- CVE-2017-14055 (denial of service)

In libavformat/mvdec.c in FFmpeg 3.3.3, a DoS in mv_read_header() due
to lack of an EOF (End of File) check might cause huge CPU and memory
consumption. When a crafted MV file, which claims a large "nb_frames"
field in the header but does not contain sufficient backing data, is
provided, the loop over the frames would consume huge CPU and memory
resources, since there is no EOF check inside the loop.

- CVE-2017-14056 (denial of service)

In libavformat/rl2.c in FFmpeg 3.3.3, a DoS in rl2_read_header() due to
lack of an EOF (End of File) check might cause huge CPU and memory
consumption. When a crafted RL2 file, which claims a large
"frame_count" field in the header but does not contain sufficient
backing data, is provided, the loops (for offset and size tables) would
consume huge CPU and memory resources, since there is no EOF check
inside these loops.

- CVE-2017-14057 (denial of service)

In FFmpeg 3.3.3, a DoS in asf_read_marker() due to lack of an EOF (End
of File) check might cause huge CPU and memory consumption. When a
crafted ASF file, which claims a large "name_len" or "count" field in
the header but does not contain sufficient backing data, is provided,
the loops over the name and markers would consume huge CPU and memory
resources, since there is no EOF check inside these loops.

- CVE-2017-14058 (denial of service)

In FFmpeg 3.3.3, the read_data function in libavformat/hls.c does not
restrict reload attempts for an insufficient list, which allows remote
attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop).

- CVE-2017-14059 (denial of service)

In FFmpeg 3.3.3, a DoS in cine_read_header() due to lack of an EOF
check might cause huge CPU and memory consumption. When a crafted CINE
file, which claims a large "duration" field in the header but does not
contain sufficient backing data, is provided, the image-offset parsing
loop would consume huge CPU and memory resources, since there is no EOF
check inside the loop.

- CVE-2017-14169 (denial of service)

In the mxf_read_primer_pack function in libavformat/mxfdec.c in FFmpeg
3.3.3, an integer signedness error might occur when a crafted file,
which claims a large "item_num" field such as 0xffffffff, is provided.
As a result, the variable "item_num" turns negative, bypassing the
check for a large value.

- CVE-2017-14170 (denial of service)

In libavformat/mxfdec.c in FFmpeg 3.3.3, a DoS in
mxf_read_index_entry_array() due to lack of an EOF (End of File) check
might cause huge CPU consumption. When a crafted MXF file, which claims
a large "nb_index_entries" field in the header but does not contain
sufficient backing data, is provided, the loop would consume huge CPU
resources, since there is no EOF check inside the loop. Moreover, this
big loop can be invoked multiple times if there is more than one
applicable data segment in the crafted MXF file.

- CVE-2017-14171 (denial of service)

In libavformat/nsvdec.c in FFmpeg 3.3.3, a DoS in
nsv_parse_NSVf_header() due to lack of an EOF (End of File) check might
cause huge CPU consumption. When a crafted NSV file, which claims a
large "table_entries_used" field in the header but does not contain
sufficient backing data, is provided, the loop over
'table_entries_used' would consume huge CPU resources, since there is
no EOF check inside the loop.

- CVE-2017-14225 (denial of service)

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, but callers do not anticipate this, as demonstrated by the
avcodec_string function in libavcodec/utils.c, leading to a NULL
pointer dereference.

Impact
======

A remote attacker is able to crash the application while watching a HLS
stream. Furthermore an attacker is able to crash the application by
tricking the user into opening a specially crafted video file.
