CVE-2016-9561
The che_configure function in libavcodec/aacdec_template.c in FFmpeg before 3.2.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (allocation of huge memory, and being killed by the OS) via a crafted MOV file.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.13%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
