CVE-2017-11719
The dnxhd_decode_header function in libavcodec/dnxhddec.c in FFmpeg 3.0 through 3.3.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-array access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted DNxHD file.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.74%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
