CVE-2012-2786
Unspecified vulnerability in the decode_wdlt function in libavcodec/dfa.c in FFmpeg before 0.11, and Libav 0.7.x before 0.7.7 and 0.8.x before 0.8.4, has unknown impact and attack vectors, related to an "out of array write."
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.66%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
