CVE-2017-17128
The h264_slice_init function in libavcodec/h264_slice.c in Libav 12.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault and application crash) via a crafted file.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.98%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
