CVE-2012-0851
The ff_h264_decode_seq_parameter_set function in h264_ps.c in libavcodec in FFmpeg before 0.9.1 and in Libav 0.5.x before 0.5.9, 0.6.x before 0.6.6, 0.7.x before 0.7.6, and 0.8.x before 0.8.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service…
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (3.23%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
