CVE-2012-0856
Heap-based buffer overflow in the MPV_frame_start function in libavcodec/mpegvideo.c in FFmpeg before 0.9.1, when the lowres option is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted H263 media file.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.71%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
